Blue = "pop", Greenish = "soda", Red = "Coke". I personally also take "pop" equals midwestern attitude, "coke" equals southern attitude, "soda" equals east and west coast obnoxiousness.

I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

\ It's the only version of the map I could find with a quick google search. Blue = "pop", Greenish = "soda", Red = "Coke". I personally also take "pop" equals midwestern attitude, "coke" equals southern attitude, "soda" equals east and west coast obnoxiousness. Nothing like gross generalization huh

So, just for kicks, explian to me why midwestern and southern get to be "attitudes" and east and west coast get to be "obnoxiousness." Tongue

(My profile might say Iowa but it was CT originally...) and yes...I call it soda. 4 years in Iowa has not made it pop.

Pop = midwestern friendliness, reminds you of your grandfather. Soda = the generic term for carbonated and sweetened, non-alcoholic beverages. Coke = southern tendency toward consumer product brand loyalty as a result of NASCAR affiliated idolatry and brainwashing. To the OP's question, I sometimes find carbonated beverages cause gushy tummy when running. That's no good when you're runnin' along, miles from a friendly toilet.

You'll be fine. I drank 2 to 3 liters of Diet Coke every day for the first six months of my running.

Really??

Wow, Bonkin!

The only time I really drink Coke is following a long, hard run in the hot summer sun. Nothing better. Except maybe beer. Belay that. Beer rules.

Yep. And for 14 or 15 years before that. I have maybe one can every two or three weeks now.

When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?

Currently I only drink water; pretty much all day. I have been doing that for the last several years. From April to June 2005, however, I drank soda/pop/coke (I worked on a project where it was free.) My weight started to go up, so I stopped. Race times did not slow down, but I think they would have if I did not switch back to water.

I am a Sprite lover. I am & always try to cut back. I really love it. I am down to 1 can a day. Not too bad.

I've recently started with a Sprite addiction. I even bought a case to keep in the fridge here at work. Blush

I've switched to diet coke (yep, all soft drinks are "coke" down here too) recently. Not sure if it's any better for me.

Oh Daisy...does "obnoxious attitude" make it hurt any less Smile

I am sure that you are the exception to the rule. Merely a joke, merely a joke.

Oh no it's ok! I wasn't trying to be any more serious than you were! Thanks for the correction Tongue
