Did 3x2 miles in the canyon (2 down, 1 up). Got 9:50, 11:14, and 9:30. Given the last split, I probably was asleep on the uphill interval. I'm going to start doing more uphill intervals.

There was a decent bit of snow, so I did a nonstandard workout - 6 miles on an out-and-back course that started at my house. This course has a fair bit of hills and a couple street crossings. There also was a fair bit of snow on the road. Ended up with 32:35 (16:46 out and 15:49 back). Total of 16.

Today had a meeting in the morning, so was only able to do 12 in the morning. It was cold, but I still tried a workout (3x2 with two uphill intervals and one downhill). Ended up with 11:10, 9:57 (down) and 11:07. Added another 4 miles in the evening.

Did a workout - 2x2 in the canyon. Got 10:16 up (5:10 and 5:06), then 9:54 down (4:51 and 5:03). I wanted to break 5:00 average but the wind interfered. Pretty happy about the uphill result.
