Preflight and runup... every time?

Assuming you go by the checklist before the 1st flight of the day

If you fly in for a burger or bathroom stop etc. Do you preflight and/or do a run up again before leaving?

I’m uncomfortable preflighting and walking away from the plane so I wait till I’m ready to go then Preflight (except for checking fuel/oil).
Curious what you guys do.
 
I was taught and still do full preflight first flight of the day. Tires, fuel, oil after other intermediate stops. Full run-up after every start-up.

Rational for the basic 3 after other stops was that if those 3 are ok you will almost certainly survive the takeoff even if other problems develop.
