Jack Frost Challenge

"The Forks Plans to Extend Skating Trail." Access Winnipeg, accesswinnipeg.com/2008/11/winnipeg-to-extend-river-skating-trail/.

For the Jack Frost Challenge, I decided to go skating. I went to the Forks to get outside and enjoy a break from studying. This activity allowed me to relax, have fun and enjoy some time outside in the winter. I find spending time outside to be a perfect break from studying. Skating at the Forks allowed me to take a break and then return to my work, motivated to continue. Being outside in the cold air also made me feel refreshed and more alert. I had fun at the Forks and the only thing that could have made it better would have been having more time to enjoy the activity. I only spent one hour skating on the river trail. The trail was so pretty and there was so much to see. I would have liked to have spent even more time outside. I enjoy spending time outside and I would be very interested in participating in other outdoor winter activities such as, going to bonfires, playing hockey, snowshoeing and hiking.

Finally, by implementing slow movement in your life, you will be able to strengthen bonds between yo...

However, this product contains ingredients that are considered moderate-high risk for allergies and immunotoxicity such as, methylisothiazolinone, rated 7, and methylchloroisothiazolinone, rated 6.
