I am wondering if anyone has noticed a correlation between type of workout and what kind of mood they are in afterward. Sometimes when we get over-the-top kick sets I end up feeling totally drained, and not in a good way. Often when we do a sprint oriented workout I feel really pumped afterward, even if I got nauseous while swimming. After a long slow distance workout I'll be totally exhausted, but in a good way. Sometimes I'm so tired I can barely lift my arms to shampoo my hair but I feel great, last night I just wanted to be put out of my misery.
Do you find that certain types of workouts put you in certain types of moods?

Sickness excepted. I force myself to go even if feeling tired. The drive over I pump something boucny through the stereo, and sing along (yes Heather, yet another talent). When I get there I can feel tired but I shower and turn it cold before hitting the pool. After a warm-up I ususally no longer feel tired or weary and can get to work.
A hot-chocolate with a shot of creme de menthe in it when I get home is a good reward if it's cold out.
Skip the cold shower, and swap the hot chocolate out for a non-fat sugar-free hazelnut latte (sometimes with an extra shot of espresso) and this pretty much sums it up for me too. Whoever thought to put a Caribou coffee in my health club was BRILLIANT!! :applaud:
