Below is the dictionary definition of "jog". You'll see why I don't like the term. It's a word that means to shake, jerk, nudge, push, or jolt. There is nothing fluid or gentle about it. Don't go jogging. You'll be jogging your knees, jogging your feet, jogging your head, jogging your ankles, jogging your body. Jogging is bad. Run, chase, pursue, walk, hunt, or stalk -- anything but jog.
Hat tip to Barefoot Ken Bob for pointing this out to me.
