There is no call for calling people "joggers." Especially not on this board, where many of us are runners, duathletes or triathletes.

Maybe they were jogging. And if they were, maybe they were serious athletes on a recovery day, or on an interval between intense repeats.

I totally agree with most of the OP, but easy on the derogatory language OK?
I apologize, I was under the impression that if there was a sidewalk, which I did not mention in the original post, that runners, joggers, tri atheletes, dualtheletes whatever you chose to call them, were obliged to use the sidewalk. I was under the impression that unless it was an organized event with traffic blocked and police present, that wheeled vehicles belong on the road and two footed machines don't. My bad.

As for the term joggers, I apologize, I use it as a generic term with nothing deroatory meant.

I was actually really just berating the lack of common sense involved in what they were wearing while running where they running.
