HA!! I just did #1 to my wife in the last day or so. We were in conversation and she wanted to argue with me about how long it would take her to get to a certain point (driving), and I instantly related to the distance known from my runs and the timing necessary as a runner. Of course, any chance I get to prove her wrong, I have to pounce on it, so pulled up my run tracking app, and showed the time and distance on the recorded app, and dug that dog house a little deeper!!!
