I mean did they ever jog in the middle ages. Of course not. They were sane people in those times.

Your ignorance has no limits...do you really sit at home and you ask yourself: how can I push the limits of my ignorance?
With no regards for you whatsoever,

Motivation was much higher as if you weren't up to it, you could get your head cloven in and your fitness regime was over |

Well the thing is I was sitting on the Limmat watching all these nervous joggers jogging by. All plugged into thier " smartphones " or chattering nervously with thier fellow joggers. It all looked a bit SICK!

There's no such thing as jogging anymore. These days no matter how slow you move you are a "runner". If you want to insult a self described "runner" just call him or her a "jogger".

Love running threads
I miss it, omtat.
People back then had other worries than boosting their immunity, measuring it every second and being attractive for themselves. Alas, maybe when people run, it is their only time they can squeeze a phonecall in..and only time to clean their heads of stress. You think of their pain while they feel their endorphines.

I like your subtle way of English teaching.
So how do I call the roast before it's roasted? (And don't tell me "a lump of meat".

I'd call it a joint, but that has me thinking that can only be applied to meat with joints in them. I see roasting as the cooking method, similar to toasting.
I'm afraid my mangling of the language is not to be confused with teaching.
