Suburban Detroit mayor: Don't disturb me while I jog

WARREN, Mich. � 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 Fouts didn�t speak to her while jogging. Fouts said he didn�t recognize her and typically listens to radio or takes calls on his mobile phone when he�s exercising.

Fouts said he�s �available 24/7 but NOT when I�m jogging.� He said some residents believe he�s �obligated� to stop and talk.

Fouts is in his 70s, and he said he�s trying to keep his heart in good shape. He�s been mayor of Warren, a Detroit suburb, since 2008.
