Quick run
Today was very warm compared to recent weather, so after class I took the opportunity to go walking. I mostly went down Urbana's Main Street, past some shops and residential areas. As I was going along, I remembered that one trip per day of a common campus bus route is special in that it transmutes into a different route mid-trip. I wanted to see exactly how that happens, so I reversed direction and went back towards the start of that trip, but to get there I had to move decently quickly. After a bit of a run, I arrived at Lincoln Square with 5 minutes to spare. Sure enough, the bus had a different headsign - "Illini Union only" instead of "FAR/PAR only" - and changed its displayed route mid-trip as I rode it back to the dorm. I've now visited 400~ (36%) of the bus stops in town.

Maybe there might be an app for that. Did you know to wherever you are for each mile you are going 5 times as fast?
