Even as a long time runner, I have never been clear as to the difference
between running and jogging.   

Referencing a book on Nutrition, (Food and Fitness by Jan Nix and Linda Carlsen)
I came accross a chart adapted from information from the American Heart
Association which outlined caloric expenditure as a function of activity.  The
chart listed:

	Running (5-1/2 mph)		600 calories
	Jogging (5-1/2 mph)		740 calories

There was no explaination as to the distinctions made between running and
jogging...  Anyone have some?
