anyone else like diet soda after a long workout?
I never drink soda.
With one exception. After a long run (over 15 miles or so), I like to stop in at the local 7-11 and get myself a Double Big Gulp of Diet Coke. For some reason I find it to be the perfect rehydrating tool. I get a lot of fluids, it has some flavor, and it helps to settle my stomach (which can be queasy if it was a particularly taxing effort and/or real hot outside). I literally do not have a desire to drink the stuff except for that one bizarre condition.
So I wonder, does anyone else do this? Or am I just a weirdo? I imagine it's not the best post-workout beverage, but it seems to work for me. I don't like the sports drink after a workout.. too much sugar or something.
