It may seem like a nice hobby, but there's a global community of runners and cyclists creating art though exercise-tracking apps. And it includes some passionate people from Melbourne.
"It might be an eye, or maybe a butthole," she says.
In keeping with the name of her blog — animal pun runs — Smith plots her routes in the shape of various animals, before signing them off with a witty pun. Beyond the challenge of composing a picture to run, Smith also has some specific rules that make her job even harder. "Sometimes my map tells me I should be able to go straight through, but I can't, so I'll have to figure out how to get around without ruining the picture. There's been a couple of times where I've jumped over fences."
Somewhat controversially, Mr Xeona uses a different method to Smith to compose his works of art. While Smith never turns her GPS off, Mr Xeona uses a "stop, start" method to complete his images."If you need a straight line, it's not like you can always find a route that's going to look exactly like the image," he explains.
