AM: 6.6 miles outside followed immediately by a 5-mile progression workout on the treadmill into some maintainance work at the gym.

Workout was- start at 9.5mph with incline and progress to 12.0, increasing 0.1mph every minute, and then finish the progression once you get to 5 miles.

This is easily one of my favorite workouts.  I can always get up for this workout mentally, and the forgiving treadmill, fan, and air conditioning make for a pleasurable experience when compared to being outside.  I think it's a good idea to roll into it on tired legs and from being outside.  It almost feels like a performance-enhancing thing, as my body is sweating *so* much prior to the treadmill, than when I get on the treadmill I am breathing easy and cool even at 10+ mph, while 10 minutes before that I was slogging hard and burning up while running effort-full at 7:45/mile.
