Today did 3 x 1 mile down the canyon. The target was 4:40, but headwind made that difficult. Ran the first one in 4:45, then 4:46. The wind died down on the last interval, plus I smelled the barn. Ended up with 4:39.

Today I did 4 x 2 miles in the canyon. The first interval I paced Joseph and Jacob for a two mile time trial. Jacob broke 5:20 average - 10:39 for two miles. Then I did an interval uphill in 10:59 - 5:21 and 5:38. Next was a downhill interval in 9:55 - paced fairly evenly. 

 The first uphill interval I started out too fast (76) trying to catch some other runners who were doing a workout. On the second one, I decided to start slower, and it paid off. My splits were 5:22 and 5:15 (last 600 in 1:53) which gave me 10:37. This is a record for going up the canyon.

Ended up with 17 total miles.
