Jun 29, 2026, 5:52 PMI'm in a #running club where one runner has OCD about everyone ending their runs on .00 miles. If you end up short at .99, he'll make sure to comment on your Strava run asking why you couldn't just run around the parking lot or whatever to push it over.
Well tomorrow is his 40th birthday, so a friend and I decided to have a bit of fun making a self-referential Strava art: drawing "9.99 MILES" that is indeed 9.99 miles.
Happy Birthday friend!
Edit: better image
@atoponce Perfect! 😅
@atoponce do it again, but this time keep your heart beat at 99.
Jun 29, 2026, 6:02 PM@Eggfreckles Challenge accepted! 😅
Jun 29, 2026, 6:09 PM@atoponce You mean his 39.99'th birthday
@atoponce I wish to have friends this good and petty
@atoponce Haha, this is brilliant!
@atoponce And next year you repeat with 10.01 miles (both the art and real distance).
Jun 29, 2026, 7:28 PM@recollir His OCD is only triggered when you fall short 0.01. For some reason, it doesn't bug him if you go over 0.01. 🤷♂️
@atoponce damn… but you still could say that you averaged out this year’s 9.99. 😂
@atoponce that's so cool! 🤩
