Today was "step" intervals like last Thursday (100 steps fast, 50 slow, 200/100, 300/150, 400/200, repeat for 20min). Wore my VFFs. Felt pretty good, I was pretty tired as is customary for Thursdays, but I pushed through. About 5 miles.

Calves still get sore from the VFFs, but my shins are really loving them. I usually have tender shins, but even just doing the VFFs twice a week this week has made a huge difference.

Did my 2 strength workouts this week, and had a massage (HOORAY!!). Next week back on a swimming schedule, too, I haven't had time to be dedicated to 2-3x/week.
