Today we got a fair bit of rain and snow. I was going do do the usual 3x2 workout, but after the second interval was too wet and cold (10:51 and 9:57). Did 10 in the morning, followed by 6 later in the day. During the 6 miles I did a 2 mile pickup in 10:12 (2:43 first half mile in the snow, followed by 5:00 pace for the last mile and a half as the trail got better). So in all I still ended up with 6 miles at tempo pace.

Did the 3x2 (up, down, up) workout again. Finally hit all the target times this time - 10:28 (5:06, 5:22) up, 9:49 (4:53, 4:56) down and 10:21 (5:02, 5:19) up. I've done this workout a number of times, but this is the best performance so far.

Wasn't able to do a workout today due to a tight hamstring from Saturday.

There was snow in the canyon, so I did 6x800 uphill near the house. Averaged around 2:32-2:33, the last interval went all-out and got 2:26.
