    All of these points are fantastic!! However, in my own head, regarding my own activity and progress, I've told myself that I am "jogging" because I still can't run (at my slow steady pace) continuously without stopping to walk at times. Once I can finally run without walking intervals I'll say I'm "running". I think of it as a small mental motivator. I don't invest too much thought into it, but that's my logic.
    (I don't bounce at crosswalks though, but that's hilarious. :D )

    Im a 12 minute mile RUNNER! Dont let anyone ever tell you that your not a runner cause your not doing 8-10 min miles. They are just an elitist Arsehole. Im running my first marathon in a week and i will finish in around 5.5 hours. tell me im not running and i might cut you! :)

    Good luck on your race! I often say I'll never do a full (half is my limit) because I'd have to have a 5 course meal in the middle of the race if I was running for 5-6 hours LOL.
