Running, a pet, and an over engineered monitoring system.

What’s not to like?

(I am completely unsurprised that it was a physicist who found he really needed to measure what his pet was doing all night.)

*‘Mollie has become something of a star in the running world after de Buck, a Dutch physicist, rigged a system to track the critter's movements on the running app Strava.*

*"I trained for a marathon for like half a year and gave a good effort, I thought. I got, like, maybe 40 'kudos,' which is like the 'likes' on Strava. But Mollie's getting about a thousand for each run each night," de Buck told As It Happens guest host Rebecca Zandbergen. "It's not fair."’*
