Obviously, a jogger is just a runner with a very inefficient style that burns
up an additional 140 calories/hour.

Actually, I detest the term 'jogger', especially when people apply it to me.
I've never seen a rigorous definition of the difference, so I made up my own:
A runner runs because he or she enjoys running.
A jogger runs because he or she feels that they have to run ("I hate running,
but it's supposed to be good for me."). Joggers (by this definition) give 
running a bad name.
