not a problem, since going there for jogging, might as well jog there, 10 min only.

Depends on individuals I guess. For me, I never jogged along main roads as that makes me act like a vacuum cleaner breathing in car exhaust. Some people don't mind breathing in car exhaust can do that.

Quite true, jogging along main roads will make one breathe in car exhaust.  Whilst if one were to jog in MacRitche reservoir, one will be able to breathe in oxygen from the trees there.... Clapping
