Jogging in the street???

If there are 3, count them, THREE, sidewalks available, why jog/run in the MIDDLE of the street?????
While driving on said street, I had to wait for 5 cars to pass in the other direction to pass a jogger that was jogging in the middle of my traffic lane. Her Ipod must have been turned up way to loud b/c she did not hear my car or my car horn when I tried to get her attention to move over out of the middle of the traffic lane. I tried to rationalize it, maybe she was physically deaf, don't hate on the Ipod. But then I saw the thing strapped to her arm w/the little wires going to her ears. Well, she must be on a good way to permanent hearing loss now.
If you cannot fathom running/jogging on one of the 3 well maintained sidewalks on the lakefront(1 next to the sea wall, 1 in the green space, 1 across the road on the home side), provided by the city, please be careful of traffic & at lease run/jog on the right side of the lane, so that cars may pass you.

I'm a good citizen for not rolling her over like an annoying speed bump with my large SUV, right?????
