No, it could not have been uphill both ways. That's the point of the
aphorism "I walked uphill both ways". In our reality there could only be a
net increase in elevation in one direction. When someone claims to have
"walked uphill both ways" they are exaggerating, usually for ironic effect.
When you say "it *was* uphill both ways" you're implying it was literally
true. Which is impossible.
