Jogging or running does not build your abs. At least I don't think they do. Have you ever been for a run and had sore abs as a result afterwards? You may have a bit of excess fat on your stomach and have abs underneath. If you lose a bit of weight through running and you stomach gets tighter then it could look like you are getting abs by running. And I suppose you would be.
I personally enjoy running a lot. Its great exercise and great for the health too. The problem where I'm living though is there aren't too many places you can go running, unless running through town is your thing. I think jogging is for tired people though.

If you are going to train, you may as well do it right. Run and a good pace, not too fast though, so you can run a reasonable distance. At the start of the year I used to get up at 5am to go train for athletics. Its something I enjoy but haven't got the fitness for. For example for the first round of athletics i could only keep a good pace for 300m in the 400m run. After that I trained and ran almost everyday for a good distance and I was able to get a placing in my province.
Although now that is finished I dont train anymore. I probably wouldnt run to stay in shape either. I play a bit of rugby and soccor and that keeps me fit. Both involve a lot of running so its great.
