Do you get mad when someone calls you a Jogger?

I'm not fast, but when I get out there to work out, I run. I might have been considered kinda fast in high school and college, so maybe that is why I hate this. I hate it when people ask me if I "jog," or call me a "jogger." I'm a runner! Am I the only one, or does this bother anyone else?

I hate the cold - I have been biking a bunch though. I keep my log public for stuff like that anyways. Good motivation, I guess. Trent - I'm not sure if I should call your 9 minute mile average pace "runs"

Well played, sir. Well played. I call my 9 minute mile average "runs" "easy". And you should notice, there are a whole lot of them...

On your 40 mile run, you only averaged 11 minute miles. What a pansy! Trent < jogger="" />< runner>

I don't give a F how freaking slow I run. I am a runner. I run all summer, I run all winter. It's hard, enaging, fun work. Don't call me a fucking jogger...joggers don't pass 30mpw. Joggers don't love it like we all do.

nope. never.

And you know sometimes it gets so painful
Just like talking to yourself
When everything don't seem to have no rhyme or reason
We all go
Do do loo do do, do do loo do do
Waiting for the sun to shine

Hm, so how would you like it if I said joggers don't pass 50mpw? Roll eyes

I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

There's nothing wrong with 'jogging'. You could be called worse ... I know some folks who are very competitive masters-age track athletes. But because they only race a mile or so their endeavors are far less impressive to the casual observer than the person who'll walk a marathon in six hours. Roll eyes

Each to their own. Smile

The process is the goal.
