Somewhat Painful

Today was a 13-miler and it was a little bit painful. The first five miles was okay, but by the second route around the neighborhood I was tight in the hips, knees, and calfs. It was a gorgeous day, so that wasn't the problem. I think it's mainly a result of extending the distance for the first time in about 18 months or so. This is part of the training process. I've been here before and know that it will get better. At least that's the goal.
