    If a mouse did this in study, we would euthanize it from mercy. I don’t even know if the first meth mice were this obsessive compulsive.

      That’s not true. They have put mouse exercise wheels in the wild and mice use them for fun. Mice love to run.

      There was actually an interesting “exercise drug” line of research seeing if they could make a pharmaceutical that would make exercise fun. Wonder if that went anywhere.

    Reminds me of this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-Transcendence_3100_Mile_Race

    This race, which lasts several weeks, is hosted by the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team and takes place every summer in Queens, New York City. The course is 3,100 miles (4,989 km) long. Runners negotiate 5,649 laps of one extended city block in Jamaica, Queens, bounded by 164th Place, Abigail Adams (84th) Avenue, 168th Street, and the Grand Central Parkway — a distance of 0.5488 miles (883 m) — while the streets are in normal use.[2] The runners have 52 days to complete the distance, running from 6 a.m. to midnight, an average of 59.62 miles (95.95 km) every day. The prize is typically a T-shirt, a DVD, or a small trophy.[3]

    See this is the superiority of the metric system. You say a 0.112 km loop and you know that’s a 112 m loop. Say 0.07 miles and thefuckisthatonanyotherscale.
