| Quote: | Nude jogger: "This is what I do"
Fri Apr 8, 3:52 PM ET Crimes and Trials - Court TV
By Tinuola Awopetu, Court TV
(Court TV) — What caught the anonymous caller's attention first — the reflective Nike logo on the back of Robert Register's running shoes, or the fact that the 56-year-old man was running in the buff?
Either way, the tipster is responsible for putting an end to the Floridian's yearlong nude running streak.
Judie Banks, a spokesperson for the Coconut Grove Police Department, said an anonymous caller contacted officers at 5:15 a.m. on March 31 to report a white male jogging in the nude in the largely residential area.
A patrol officer spotted Register at about 5:30 a.m.
"[The officer] saw a naked man running with only a pair of white sneakers with a reflective Nike logo," Banks said.
Register allegedly jumped into the bushes when the officer attempted to stop him. When he came out of hiding, he had on a pair of blue shorts.
The man was cooperative and reportedly told the officer, "This is what I do." He explained that he had been running in the buff regularly on Tuesdays and Fridays for about a year. According to Banks, this was the first time Register had ever been reported to police.
"If there's some holistic benefit to [running naked], I'm not sure what it is," Banks said. "As a result of this incident, I've gotten emails from people who practice nudism. I'm sure it's a perfectly fine practice — in a more controlled environment."
Register was arrested and charged with indecent exposure.

But if he's wearing shoes, is he truly naked?
Ladies and germs of the jury?

If he were truly an extreme sports type he'd run barefoot.
As it is, he's a poser.

I wonder if he was inspired after reading "Running with the BUFFaloes"?
