Hey, you said you wanted honest so here goes. Can you do it? Yes. Should you do it? Probably not. If you have been doing absolutely nothing as far as running goes then you are very likely looking at some injuries. As I've learned the hard way many times, the heart and lungs are ready to be pushed much sooner than the ol' tendons. If you do this thing make sure you take bluegoose's advice and run on dirt or cinder trails. The tough part for you is going to be getting in enough base miles to not get injured on your longer runs. And make sure to buy good shoes.
