I think we all know how that is...
When I ran (did it sporadically and occasionally years ago) I stuck to the roads. They're easier on your joints, less likely to trip over things than on the sidewalks, and you're more visible to approaching traffic (right hook, anyone?).
I don't mind joggers as long as they're heading towards me. When they're on the wrong (right side) side of the road, then I find it gets dicey.
