I was running in a tourist area and (in a moment of weakness) stopped to take a picture of a family with their camera. You know the story. 5000 pictures of everyone but Dad so I figured I'd do them a favor.
I took the picture and turned and as I handed back the camera "Enjoy your jog!!"

Why do you hate those runners who have a great sense of style?

the definition of jogging is "running at a slow pace." The word slow is relative. A pro runner could consider 6:00 pace a jog. I might consider 7:30 pace a jog. The average person might consider 8:00 pace ridiculously fast. So,
in a way, any easy run can be considered a jog. But I'm not much for arguing semantics...words are just words. |

Ok, you're kinda creepin' me out here. Tell us all you're joking--PLEASE! 
Joggers are the people in the neighborhood who get out and run around the block for a few days after they see you take off on your (almost) daily run.
They'll quit in a couple of days and never make eye contact with you again. TC |

Damn. I was that jogger at one time. My next door neighbor does 3.5 miles every day and I ran with him for a few days. Never was able to look him in the eye again.
Now he thinks I'm nuts for running 8+mi.
