Huffington Post writer Kevin Bell did a bang-up job digging into the history of joggling in his article,
The Invention of Joggling, the Goofiest Sport in History. I'm happy to see joggling pioneer Bill Giduz get the credit he deserves for essentially bringing the sport into existence and for coining the term "joggling" in 1975. Giduz's "Joggler's Jottings" columns are definitely worth a read, especially
this one on joggling sprint legend Owen Morse, of
Wikipedia photo fame.
The very talented and inspiring
Dana Guglielmo, who holds the women's 5K joggling world record despite suffering from inflammatory arthritis, sums up our pursuit perfectly in describing us as "competitive goofballs."
