Answer 1

This is what you want:
answer = input("running or walking")
if answer == 'running':
answer = True
else:
answer = False
print('Do you like to jog? ', answer)

You were not checking your inputted answer.

Answer 2

There it is! thank you. I knew it was something simple and when I did it I did it on answer == True. Thank you. I feel much better knowing I wasn't so far off.

Answer 3

I also didn't know the ' ' vs " " made such a difference either.
