Instead of a jogger? Is there an official definition?

"The difference between a runner and a jogger is an entry blank." -- (the late) Dr. George Sheehan
This is the only definition that I bother with, although the official definition according to MLB is pretty accurate as to what a runner is as well:
A RUNNER is an offensive player who is advancing toward, or touching, or returning to any base.
The bases of course being the starting line, finishing line, and any intermediate checkpoints in the race. |
Run to Win
I just started using Twitter - anybody else on there? http://twitter.com/BlaineMoore
"Slow down--if you wanted that time, you should have run faster during the rest of the race!"
I wish I'd been there to hear that as the line started forming in front of the finish line. No idea what I'd have done about it, but I wish I'd heard it in person instead of 3rd party. |

| To me, a jogger is one of those who wears velour sweatsuits. |

Sweet!
That means I haven't been a jogger for a while (I ditched the sweatsuit last year).

well then congrats!
Yeah, I really have that derogatory stereotype stuck in my head of a "jogger" being the terry sweatband velour set who putter around just for "fun" on the weekends smiling all the way - sort of like that perma-grin "male enhancement" commercial guy
Competition aside, I think you're a "runner" once you're successfully base-building and constantly preoccupied with your long-term training plans!

When you send me your "Runner Application Fee" along with $5,000 annual dues. Totally worth it. I'll send ya a certificate. 
You're a runner if you run. |

Ha! I, too always think of that guy Larry from Three's Company.. Velour sweatswuit and terrycloth sweatband. |

I was also going to mention the terry cloth sweatband, but I thought maybe some people here might wear them.  |

The term "jogging" went away with the 70's but unfortunately it keeps getting dredged back up. Let it die, PLEASE let it die! This is RunningAHEAD not JoggingAHEAD.

Like lots of things from the 70's including wide lapels leisure suits, disco, bell bottoms, polyester ties, Cheech and Chong movies, and pork chop sideburns - let it go man, let it go.
Simple answer - if you run, you're a runner. |

From "Anchorman" (Will Ferrell) - Oop... I almost forgot. I won't be able to make it, fellas. Veronica and I trying this new fad called, uh, jogging. I believe it's 'jogging' or 'yogging.' it might be a soft j. I'm not sure but apparently you just run for an extended period of time! It's supposed to be wild.
