Mr. Lodge has taken up jogging to stay in shape. Jughead doesn't seem interested in jogging, but Archie convinces him to come jogging with him and Smithers. They soon catch up to Mr. Lodge, who isn't exactly excited that they're jogging with him. Archie suggests that maybe they could do this every day. Mr. Lodge turns around to say something to Archie, then trips over a fire hydrant, falling flat on his face. Mr. Lodge falls down from exhaustion, deciding that he's too old for jogging. Smithers, who is quite happy living the cushy life, treats the boys like royalty.
