Good grief no, certainly not around here anyway. We have cars going up on the pavement into people's front gardens on a regular basis, then of course we have the high-speed car chases, the boy racers, and the good old favourite - mobile phone users. On top of this the fact that our pavements are so cracked and uneven, jogging in this area would probably be the cause of many injuries - not good for your health at all plus breathing in the fumes of the hundreds of cars around you would probably do your lungs more harm than smoking 20 cigarettes a day. If you are going to jog, why would you want to suffer all this and more, especially when there are so many nicer places to use, there are parks and running tracks, woods and fields these places are much safer to use and also a lot kinder on the soul.
