Why does 'jogging' achieve such a visceral reaction? That's this week's Big Question. How fun! Also: how yoga makes you fast enough to reach the Olympic Trials, and more about running and creativity.
I have to agree: I hate it when people ask if im going for a jog, because it does seem like they’re trying to make a diminutive out of what I’m about to go do, which is obviously infuriating.
I think the difference between slow runs and jogs is that slow runs are intentional, whereas jogs just seem like something you might do occasionally or without much concentration. They’re the window-shopping of running.

Oh yeah, I'm not here to change minds. I'm just pointing out the weird shit we do. I wonder what we'll call it once being slow is uncool.
We’ll call it jogging lol!
