I've been gone a while. I started reading fanfiction to escape and I got sucked in an abyss.

I have no idea if someone else is hosting similar challenges. I just grabbed some of what I have hosted before.

Here's to a happy year of great reading
Jan2023: Not much has changed. Writing a fanfiction now O_o as well as reading but I bought 7 new books in December and hope to get those read soon. Crossing fingers about adding challenges (late!)

J is for Jogging
I googled jogging and got this . . .
I'm going with definition 1 today although I'm sure there is some of definition 2 going on during races!

Dr. George Sheehan, a best-selling author from the 1970s running boom, is quoted as saying that "the difference between a runner and a jogger is a signature on a race application."

Of course, there are lots of people out there who are WAAAAY faster than I am that use running as a regular form of exercise but have never competed in a formal race. Then there is me who has done lots of races but can walk faster than she can jog/run.

Anyways, people seem to use the term jog when they see someone exercising but use the term run when they see people in a race. So if you're a runner, don't be offended if someone mentions they saw you "out jogging". On the other hand, all those back of the pack people in races should be proud to call themselves runner.
