6.85 miles later...

I can say I did it.

I felt really good for pretty much the whole thing.  The first 3 miles flew by.  We stopped for a quick water break and then headed straight up a big hill.  Ugh.  Made me wish we hadn't stopped for water.  Anyways, pushed through it and before I knew it we were at 5.6 miles.  It felt awesome.  My record distance prior to today was 5 miles.  So I had already beat my personal record at that point.  And I was still feeling good.  So at mile 6 this huge hill rises up in front of us.  Seriously... a big hill.  I was just praying I made it.  When we got to the top we kind of without words all voted to walk about a minute.  Then we headed back down the hill back to the DRC clubhouse.  Afterwards I wasn't winded or even too tired... I just started getting sore quickly.

My right hand hurts from hanging on to my water bottle... even though it has a strap it's like second nature to clench it.  I may be moving to a belt soon... but I just hate the idea.

My right knee also is painful.   But I think it's just tired.

Understandably... it was almost 7 miles!
