Hi, is there any difference between these two sentences:

Let's jog round the lake.
Let's jog around the lake.


Thanks,
Nicole

Not really any difference. Just perhaps that around indicates a longer circuit, at least in the mind. Note:

AROUND THE WORLD IN EIGHTY DAYS

Rock Around the Clock by Bill Haley
