Happy National Share A Coke Day! What an awesome holiday to celebrate such a delicious beverage. To be honest, I actually prefer Diet Coke, but I'm sure that the special day applies to all varieties. I almost certainly drink more Diet Coke than would be recommended by anyone besides the Coca Cola company, but I'm in good company. Stephanie and most of our family are also a little hooked on the silver can.
I very much enjoy the summer promotion that Coke has been running for the past few years to Share a Diet Coke with...followed by a name. I will admit that I purchase way more bottled soda in convenience stores during the promotion and will dig to the back to find the name of someone close to me, or if I can't find that, someone I've ever crossed paths with. When I find someone's name, I like to snap a pic of it and send it to the person to let them know we are sharing a Diet Coke although I will be drinking 100% of it. I guess the part we are "sharing" is the good wish. This year, Coke has a fun little jingle about how "I love to share a Coke with you." Now you may ask, what does sharing a Coke have to do with running? Well, it's actually connected. Just last weekend, I was talking with Blake about running the Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon next month. He'd mentioned that it tastes so good to have a red Coke (regular variety) after a long run. I told Blake that the volunteers will give him a ticket at the finish to get a bottle of Coke in the finishing area, but that it will take me a while to get there, so he may want to bring a few dollars in case he wants a second one! I know I'll be grabbing a Coke as soon as I'm done, maybe regular and maybe diet depending on how I'm feeling. Either one would be tasty and what I love most about a Coke after a long run is that it seems to clear my mouth of that icky pasty feeling that sometimes builds up. Yum, yum! Marathon season is definitely in full swing in Minnesota. The Lake Wobegon Trail Marathon is this weekend. Stephanie will be running in the Fargo Marathon next weekend...it's technically in North Dakota, but it does cross over into Minnesota and back. Grandma's Marathon in Duluth will be coming up in about a month. David will be participating in the 5K the night before Blake and I participate in the half at Grandma's. That's lots of happy running going on all over the state. Share a Coke with someone you love and happy running! Missee
