Rounding

Running to End on a Round Number

On Monday I went for a run. When I stopped the tracker on the Apple Watch and the Garmin watch I noticed the same number. 9.99km. If I had run just one more straight, or one more curve of the track I would have had a 10km run. I couldn’t restart the tracker to get that round number since it was too late.

Today someone did run extra, just to round up, and I suspect that if I had seen 9.99km I would have run that extra 100m. One hundred meters is nothing. It’s a few more seconds of running.
