The Pac Tom documentary! (28 Dec 2022 at 11:01)
It is done! I finished the Pac Tom project to run the length of every street in Pittsburgh in October, and (yes it took months) also this video documenting the project and finale:

How I ran the length of every street in Pittsburgh: PAC TOM
How I ran the length of every street in Pittsburgh: PAC TOM


The Pac Tom site now has the final data, but the video is the definitive way to see it!

I added the downloadable Soundtrack for completionists. I was horrified to find, when watching this video with some friends after I uploaded, that I had accidentally muted one of the audio tracks for the "final" version. You can rectify this by playing "Street (Trap Remix)" at exactly 11:58.

Thank you for the video. My favorite part is how you show the holes in the sole of your shoes near the beginning, then ask how the glass shard got through the soles.

I'd still like to see your achievement unlocked badge though.

I started running because of pactom back in 2020 when I was 30 years old. It turns out not running for 30 years and then suddenly running a lot was a really bad idea - but thankfully my knees healed after a month of inactivity, and I'm now running 2/3 times a week at a healthy pace :)

Upvote the strava question.

Feel free to follow me on Strava if you find it interesting (but you'll see a lot of me running my regular routes and treadmills and things!): https://www.strava.com/athletes/23127792

I fixed the soundtrack; thanks for the bug report! It was missing the Training Montage due to a typo, urgh!

Axel: I'm happy to hear this! :)

Congratulations Tom. You are an extremely patient, integral, thorough master/king/hero of the dotting of 'i's & the crossing of 't's.

The relief... and as always with panache. Thanks. *Phew*
