Today the longest ice-free stretch in the canyon was 1K, so I did 10x1K, alternating down and up. It had been a while since I did this workout, but it turned out well. Uphilll  I got 3:24, 3:12, 3:16, 3:13, 3:12. Downhill my splits were 2:59, 3:00, 2:59, 2:56, and 2:58.  Ended up with around 14.5. The wind was blowing down the canyon, so I'm especially happy with the uphill intervals.

Today the canyon had too much snow for a workout, so we did 6x800 meters uphill. The half mile up the old Carterville road from Center Street to our house has some pretty steep grades. My target was 2:30 - I was a little slower on most of the intervals, but got it on the last one (2:34, 2:35, 2:34, 2:33, 2:32 and 2:27). The first quarter was usually around 74 seconds, and the last one around 80 seconds (it has the worst uphill).
