Six months of running and working out.

I started a new fitness challenge: six months of running and working out to change my life entirely. Every session gets logged, and the log is public.

Every day of the six months gets a mark. Runs and workouts come straight off the Strava sync; a day off is only a rest day if I say so, and otherwise counts as missed.
