Amping up Accelerated Intervals

I really don't have creative titles, but that says it all! Today's workout was intervals, which had an additional session added to them. And along with it, I run them as an acceleration, with each "fast chunk" getting progressively faster until the end. It went well! I almost talked myself out of running because I was still sore from my long run Saturday! But I just did it. I wanted the mileage! With my schedule this week, I have the opportunity to really rev up my mileage, and I want to take advantage!

Style/Workout: 51 minute interval run
Setting/Route: My treadmill
Mileage: 5.45 miles
Progress: (running mileage): 5.45 today/16.75 this month/ 79.68 year-to-date (I'm aiming for 65 miles this month!)
