Soda

My wonderful loving husband is so sweet. He works in an office where they drink soda all day. He's never been this kind of a guy. Ya he's a had a soda every now and again but never consistently. Anyways, he decided to stop drinking soda to see how he would feel while he runs. He's a great runner but has wanted to get faster. He has been running about a 9:30 minute mile and his fastest time has been an average time Of 8:50. So after a week or so of not drinking soda at all, he ran a new speed of 8:30 minute miles. He did this in heat and up hills. He was surprised at the difference he felt physically. He wasn't winded At all. To me that is a great example of why soda should not be in your diet on a regular basis. There are also other reasons and studies that show why you shouldn't drink it but this is just a great example of how it affects your exercise. Here's to water and a great workout!!
