What’s with people who jog IN the road?

We live in West Seattle, residential area with fairly busy roads but they DO have sidewalks!

The other morning, early, darkish out, we see there’s an elderly woman out for a jog (good for her!) but jogging in the lane of traffic with her back to us when there’s a perfectly good sidewalk over there. So she is counting on everyone driving up behind her to be wide awake and paying full attention. Alrighty.

Then just now my gf and I were sitting at a coffee shop and along comes a jogger running AT oncoming traffic in the bike lane! Again ignoring a perfectly good sidewalk. He is jogging AT cars, and a lady biking towards him has to veer into traffic to go around him.

Is jogging just so boring by itself that people wanna raise the stakes?
