- I know of a few more distinctions:
-
- Joggers hog the track. Runners are courteous and know what a track is for.
- Joggers overdress. Runners wear as little as possible.
- Joggers run with traffic. Runners go against traffic.
- Joggers hog the sidewalk and are not aware of their surroundings. Runners
- are aware of their surroundings and know right from left.
- Joggers are meek & demure. Runners are crashing all the time, competitive,
- and thrill seeking.
- Runners get high, joggers don't. (we're talking endorphins here!)
- Runners go crashing out the door before 6am to get that 8 miler in,
- joggers go out to be seen in middle of the day when it's hottest.
- Runners vary their pace, during there run as well as during the week,
- joggers just keep ploddin' on.
-
- Runners are active, sexy, type-A, athletic, coordinated, and full of
- excuses! I wouldn't be anything else!
