I'm a popper too!
If beer was an option I'd know what to choose... had to go with Coke!
I have to go with soda for those of us here in the mid atlantic
We need more POP people!!
I thought it was only POP!!
POP it is!!
I'll celebrate our win with a nice cold SODA
OK, I'm a new 'pop' member.
Yea - Pop people!! We know the truth! =)
The question is... what is it that we are puttin in our pop?!? Go pops go!!!
I see Coke doesn't have a change at this rate! I've run 1/2 the posted miles and I've taken 2 of the 4 days off! Well, I'll just have to sit back and see what happens between Pop and Soda....
It's clearly called "Coke" people! Just joined up. Soda & Pop do seem to have it though.
another 8k for pop - whoo hoo!
I totally dont' get how you can call everything coke. When you order a coke at a restaurant, does the waitress ask, what kind? And if you say, Coke, then what?
What if it's like...
Patron: I'll have a Coke.
Waitress: What kind?
Patron: A Coke.
Waitress: Yeah, I know. What kind?
Patron: A Coke.
Waitress: You said, already! What kind?
Patron: Coke!
Waitress: (tearing up) Why won't you just tell me what you WANT?
Patron: COKE!
Waitress: Stop yelling at me and tell me what kind of coke you want!
... &c., &c., until the restaurant closes and they both go home. The next day, they both come in & repeat the process.
Love the patron/waitress talk here. See, that's why Pop wins out. There is noooo confusion there! =)

I placed an order at a McD's once in Wisconsin. I ordered, "2 cokes, a sprite & a root beer." Imagine my surprise when they placed 4 drinks in the drink tray. WTH?
Hey Fluffy - glad you're on me team! I have been slacking the last few days. I'll get on it and help the team! Coke rules! Unless you like Pepsi then Pepsi rules! Does anyone remember Tab? RC cola? OK, I'm old :) Keep runnin'
Tab used to be my favourite.... I'm old too.
Pop rules, AND we run more too!
we are getting butts kicked by pop
I'm technically a "Soda" man, but "Tonic" speaks to me from my younger days in Massachusetts.
I just put in 4.6 for team Coke! We are on a comback trend!
Got to be a Coke when you live in Atlanta!
And 3.78 more for Pop..gotta love it! =)
5 miles for coke today!
2.6 for Coke. :)
6.51 more for good 'ol Poppers!
Just listened to the 4Feet podcast. Such animosity toward pop drinkers. I call it soda now, after moving around the country, to avoid the inevitable weird looks. It is, and will always be, pop!
that is a great idea, fluffy!
Good idea...i run in trainers. :) Just logged 4.5 for Coke! :)
Jodi/Fluff: That's a fantastic idea. We'll do that one next month! Thanks!
Sneakers is correct, by the way.
not sneakers or trainers - RUNNERS!
I run in running shoes, others are "tennis" shoes. I'm from Chicago originally, does that matter????
another new englander joining for the soda team. i think we just took the lead!
Here in Australia soda is carbonated water and pop is your father so I had to go for soft drink
OMG, my 9k run thos morning put us over my 1/2 mile. Go pop go!!
back at you! Go Soda.
rats, someone go for a run, my shins hurt....
I have 8 miles to add for Coke, but I can't sync my Nike+. Humm what to do????
I input mine manually. Don't have a nike+. YOu will have to add it to the pop group tho as the cost for this advice. :)
No Way K-Girl! I have contacted the nice folks at Nike+ who took my problem into their caring hands and now my 8 miles are logged into the Coke group! Looks like 8 miles isn't going to help! :( I'll keep running! :)
I could only 3km b/c it was brick day. Come on Pop drinkers!!
I just joined the Pop drinkers must be a canadian thing eh!?
Isn't soda what they put in washing powder?
c'mon pop...we can do it...i am coming back from a week long break from running...time to kick soda's butt
Fluffy!!! I know you have some miles to sync! Coke needs your miles! :)
OK Fluufy, Just listened to podcast - It's OK!! :)
Go soda go soda go soda!
got 5 miles in for Coke this AM! I thought it ened today, but I see it goes through tomorro!
Less than 12 hours left to get your miles in for the challenge! Or are you too pooped to pop...? See what I did? Just then? It was a sly dig. At the...um...yeah. At the "pop" team. So yeah.
Come on soda-pop people you know that the functional word in the phrase is "pop" so change your affiliation to POP. Soft drink people you too.. you know its POP
Great Job Team SODA
Coke... it's the "real thing", but not the winner! congrats to Soda, whatever that is! :)
