Default not used to IS' brake pedal yet, my right leg is sore

i don't know if it's due to the brake pedal of my new IS. the distance between the brake and accelerator is pretty wide in my new IS compare to my previous rides. i'm feeling some tightness in my lower right leg after some stop and go drive. anyone else has this issue?

After the pedal recall, I noticed that the brake pedal is closer than the gas pedal. It only bothers me in heavy traffic, so in heavy traffic I move the seat back further so my leg can extend.

My foot will be farther from the gas pedal, but it's stop and go traffic so it won't matter too much.
