Chime in! How do you know you've had a killer workout?!

Here are mine:

1. When my face feels like it's on fire during my cool down
2. When the post work out shower feels like the BEST shower in the world
3. When I slip and fall on my own sweat :)

    X2

    It sounds crazy but that's what I measure by. If I don't feel like I'm about to die, I didn't work hard enough.

    When you do something that you never thought possible. For me that usually running faster and longer that I ever dream possible, it makes me feel stronger.

    Purely numerical for me. On date X , I have to hit Y pounds for Z reps. If any of those variables are not achieved, bad workout.

    When you sweat so much that you leave a sweat butt print on anything you sit on.

    LOL! True, I always find this embarrassing.
    For me it is feeling the sweat dripping down my back or front, that to me = good burn!

    When I can't get my t-shirt over my head when I go to get changed because I put all my effort into my workout!

    The t-shirt is the easy part!! There are days that the sweaty sports bra feels like a Herculean effort to get out of...and I know I've given it my all when I have to set the hair dryer on the counter and bend my head down to it because I just can't lift my arms!

    When I feel like I'm going to puke! :sick:
    When I'm dripping with sweat
    When my hair is a mess
    and when I'm sore the next day but I don't let it stop me and I get up and do it again the next day. :drinker:

    The endorphin rush after a good run. The overall feeling of bliss and joy.

    And having to peel the Under Armour off because it's absolutely drenched.
