Jogging = being able to talk
Running = not being able to talk
Same as above:
Easy run = jog, anything faster = running
No shame in jogging, it's mostly what we do
The correct answer is:
Running entails trying to get faster. Jogging is the same motion without the aspirations.
I love the confusion. There is something elegant in the irony of hearing guys like Bill Rodgers saying that they "went for a jog," and wondering to myself whether they went out galloping along a trail for an hour or they ripped off 20 miles at 5min/mile pace.
joggers run when they want to
runners run when they are supposed to
The running gods passed down the rule of the land in the 70s and that rule said 7 minute pace or under is running. Anything slower is jogging. There is no shame in a high abundance of jogging.

At 75 yrs old,I love your definition.
In my youth I used to race 10K's at 3-3.5 mins/Km,now at 6-7 mins/Km but it still "feels" like I am running,not jogging.So I still call myself a runner,not a jogger.Age does come into the pace definition.

So tempo runs are jogs?

Ever watch a marathon? The lead pack in several of these will be chatting away and they are running 4:45 pace. Your definition fails.
It just comes down to intent.
The best description / comparison I ever heard:
Jogging is for people trying to get into shape. Running is for people who already are in shape, and are preparing for competitions.

Well done.
And the thread ends.
I think it has nothing to do with pace but intent. As highlighted by other people, pace can vary depending on age for the same amount of effort.
So, it's whatever you think you're doing.
This has been debated and asked so many times I wonder if it was the first thread ever on LR.
Wow! There's a 75-year-old woman posting on Letsrun? That's awesome!

Jogging = Running
People with little dicks need to tell themselves they are better than others so they call themselves Runners no matter how slow they run/jog.
How the fuck would this make it "official?"

I agree that heel strikers also run, not jog, but you picture of Ritz does not prove your point. I know for a fact that he midfoot strikes. You picture shows his foot six inches off the ground, not at impact. Just because he points his foot upward slightly mid stride does not mean thats what it does when it hits the ground.
