This weekend was my 9 mile group run. It seemed harder this week one reason may have been that I started off anxious. Usually I try to stay relaxed and not think about the distance being run - just the idea that I have to run from start to finish. Running 4 miles on Sunday was even harder. My quad muscles were still a little sore from Saturday's run so by the last mile I could really feel them. I was never so happy to walk. Next week I hit 10 miles! It is going to be a great!
