Clearly I mean disabled.auch that they can't run.

No one needs to "run like me"

The qualifier in the comment I replied to was that age was the determinate factor on the ability to jog a half mile. I refuted that and suggested that disability (which impacts the ability to run/jog) or health would be the actual determinate factors leading to someone not being able to run

As is obvious by looking around, lots of old folks can jog. As anecdote, there are several comments in this very thread describing older folks running.

You jumped to a conclusion looking to for a fight, and didn't think critically.

Edit to be hyper clear: If you CANNOT jog a half mile, you either do not have the ability to do so via a disability, or you do not possess the health to do so.

Your age has nothing to do with it.

You replied to my comment, which at no point did it mention anything to do with running (or activity of any kind). So you were left to make an assumption of what I was referring to in my comment. That because I made a joke about being young, I must certainly be talking about fitness, and suggesting that older people can’t do fitness. It’s not like there are other reasons for my comment. None at all. And the “🤣” wasn’t indicative of my tone either. Nope.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m le tired.

That's not the case. You replied to a comment regarding running and napping with the pithy "tell me you're X..." Line.

Thus making the link between jogging, napping, and age.

I refuted that age does not mean you(read: anyone) can't do those things, and other factors play a more direct role.

This link is very clear
