OMG 7 miles at Rancho

I met up for a run with about 15 people. I was thinking i would be going about 5.2 but instead everyone was going 7 so we decided to do it. I'm glad when i went to bed the night before that i didn't know i was going to run 7. I had done the 5.2 before and was told that the next mile past that was straight up. So we made it to the farm (mile one) no problem. Then the next 2.5 was a mix of hill and flat which we did a walk run for (5:1). Then we stopped again for us all to gather and to get ready to head up the 1 mile hill. It was steep and we walked a lot. They encouraged us to run the hill and walk the more flat parts. We managed to get up it in about 15 minutes. Then we headed down a different way which was nice and shaded and we really liked. Pretty much all down hill. It was a great feeling when we finished. It's nice to get the harder part of the run over with at the beginning. The front of my right leg has been hurting. At first i thought it was my calf but now i'm wondering if it's shin splints. It luckily only hurt about the first 5 minutes of the run and then warmed up. It hurt again later but not too bad.
