Sub-7 mile, finally

6:55.

That's like 25 seconds faster than the past few miles. Finishing hurts like a SOB whether you start easy or with vigor, so the trick was, it turns out, to just start faster.

I followed it up with 3 super-slow "let-downs" (the eccentric portion of a pull-up), and no stretching whatsoever.

And then headed back in, where Constance was looking after the baby. Three more weeks until she's legally old enough to babysit. :-)
