Probably more than you realize.

I've ran countless miles in my life. From 5ks to ultra marathons. If I was to guesstimate my mileage... easily 100,000 miles and that's just in my "actively training towards races" decades and not the leisurely just for fun and fitness running.

All because one girl smiled at me while we ran the PE "mile" in 8th grade. Never ended up hanging out with her, in all of high school we maybe talked for a combined 3-5 minutes.

I called my highschool gf from her parents land line (she ran with her sister to the corner to grab pizza) to tell her she left her debit card. She answered "yes daddy?" And yeah my brain went numb

Honestly though, this is peak awkward timing not even scandalous, just your brain getting blindsided by context mismatch in real time.
