Jogging for the Better Relationship

Jogging is the cheapest sport; we can do jogging every time and everywhere without worry about money and the equipment. Besides of that fact, jogging becomes a new lifestyle for many people especially in the urban areas. According to my respondents, Kasmiran, Vita and Selvy, and my experiences, there are two advantages of jogging in the social life.

The first is social meeting. With jogging, you can meet your friends or your colleagues outside the class or the office. It is important to us to keep in touch with a lot of people. Sometimes, we feel hard to meet some of our friends; they are busy with their job or tasks, so it is a great chance to meet them in the jogging field. From jogging, there is no social gap between bosses and workers, so it can increase our friendship or partnership. My friend, Kasmiran, says that it is hard to intimate to some of the seniors. He even tries to join one of the committees in PBI but he admits that he can’t get closer with them. With jogging in Realino, he can meet with a lot of seniors and there is no gap between them, they can be closer to each other; they can talk about sport, the subjects in PBI, gossiping and many things without their status as juniors and seniors. I also have an experience with jogging; I can meet with my last boyfriend and by jogging we can be closer and stay keep in touch. If there is no topic to talk to, we usually just walk together along the jogging field and with our status as ex-girlfriend and ex-boyfriend don’t make our relationship worse.

          The second advantage is jogging can make our families closer. It is almost impossible to gather in a busy family; the parents will be home at midnight and the children will be sleeping when their parents come. Jogging can make the families closer because jogging usually is done on the weekend. It is a good time to gather because almost all of the family members are in the holiday. By doing jogging, this family can replace the busy time to the family time. One of my friends, Vita, says that her parents are civil servant and always going to another town for work. On Saturday, Vita always goes back to Wonosari, her hometown, but her parents are not in home and they always go home at the late night so she always alone. If she is lucky, on Sunday morning, her parents will ask Vita to go jogging and Vita says that it really makes her happy because they can spend time together before they busy with their activities.

           Finally, I can say that jogging is important in our social life. Even it is ok by not doing jogging, but it is really attached to our relationship with other people. Just look jogging positively for our social matters, not only because it can make our body healthier and from it cheapness. So, like Selvy says, do jogging and make friends!
