My experience has been that runners are a very supportive group* and don't buy into this kind of divisiveness. I much prefer this line of thinking:
The difference between a jogger and a runner is an entry blank. ~George Sheehan ...
*As long as you line up appropriately pace-wise at races. Even slow people like me get ticked having to dodge around thousands of walkers :-)

Do they know what I look like after a race? And I don't see me reaching for a snow cone. Even though I am only going at the most a 11 m/m.....I am running. Sorry guys!!!
Wow, Pearl Izumi, that was a tough read... As the friend of a very fast runner, i can understand what is written but as a slow runner (dare i say JOGGER?!?!) myself, i got a little harumphed reading that... Thanks for that link, Trac. Interesting...
Write to Pearl Izumi - info@pearlizumi.com They do read mail sent to that address.
oy. i'd have to write to them saying they are not writers. if you're going to post an arrogant missive as an advert on your superiority, get a style guide and write well. pointless to be a running elitist if you're not fine tuned elsewhere. coolrunning.com.au is full of this kind of wank.
i read in runner's world a lovely little article about what is elite. elite is olympian, international competitions, etc. those runners can't fill a 5-A high school stadium. if you qualify for boston, good on you. you're a really good runner. perhaps even really, rilly, weelly good runner. but you're not elite just by qualifying.
aaah wankers. gawluvvim.
and i will write. they need some slapping.
aaah, that felt good. one letter off. how do they think that hunters chased down their meals? what was the point of the arrow and spear? what happened to traps? to stealth? and what about the gatherers? did they have to run to pick berries? collect eggs? why are vegans and vegos still alive? they aren't eating their daily dose of mastedon.
phukking morons.
They can kiss my jogger's a$$, if they can catch it. The person who wrote that probably eats donuts for breakfast after their morning smoke. I guess I won't be buying any "running" shoes from those guys since I'm only a jogger.
That was uhhh... interesting to say the least. And yeah, they can kiss this "jogger's" lilly white behind!
