Coldrun Fitness - Indefinite Hiatus

Quick update: I've shifted fitness stuff off-site.  This format wasn't helping me and after a couple of years, I'm calling it quits.

Still trying to improve my life in a holistic way.  Eating better, exercising, better home care and hygiene, better financial management - across-the-board changes.

If you're interested, you can follow these attempts on my new Twitter account, @ColdrunForward.  This site will remain active as I continue my unspoiled playthrough of the Final Fantasy series.

Thank you for following, and have a wonderful winter :)
