Mayor: Don't disturb me while I jog

WARREN (AP) — The mayor of Michigan’s third-largest city has a message for residents: If he's jogging, do not disturb.

Warren Mayor Jim Fouts felt a need to get the message out on Facebook last week after a resident complained that he didn't speak to her while jogging. Fouts says he didn’t recognize her and typically listens to radio or takes calls on his mobile phone when he's exercising.

Fouts says he’s “available 24/7 but NOT when I’m jogging.” He says some residents believe he’s “obligated” to stop and talk.

Fouts is in his 70s, and he says he’s trying to keep his heart in good shape.
