If anyone reads this I would love your two cents.  I am completely out of shape. Would it be crazy to jog a 10k this weekend? How soon is too soon for 6 miles? I think I can do it but it will hurt.  I just don't want to get injured.  I'll go really slow.  Can a marathoner run 6 miles when completely out of shape, or should they start low like everyone else?

i think it would be harmless. i also think the body is pretty good at remembering the demands of running, and it will respond (maybe not a PR, but it will survive 6 miles). go for it!

Done and done! I just needed one person to encourage me, and since it's you I definitely can't say no!

Thanks Allie!
