I have never done a 10K. I almost did a 10K (but I got sick and couldn’t do it).
Last year, I ran a 15k and 5 half marathons (even one when I was recovering from an injury.)
As you well know, things have changed.
Since my injury, I have run three 5ks and many less than stellar training runs (I think they all have been crappy.) My longest run to date (with a lot of walk breaks) has been FOUR miles.
So why am I considering the HILLY
on August 11, 2012?
A. I like a challenge.
B. I run better in races than training.
C. It’s just a long run (that I pay $ for.)
D. It’s in Lake George. I love Lake George!
E. I need to burn calories (I have a wedding the next day and a tight dress to wear.)
F. I have lost my mind.
G. All of the above.
Happy Running! Did you ever compete in a race that you shouldn’t? Should I do this 10K?
My First 5K and More... 
10k are not easy. If you go with no goals in mind other than finish than you are ok. I would try to run 6 miles this weekend before signing up for the race.

Right. I would use it as a training run and do at least 5 mi this weekend.

I like your idea of thinking of it as ‘a long run that you pay fo’r! This way you don’t have to go hard out, but amp it up at the end if you are feeling good.

Definitely have competed in races I shouldn’t. Good luck deciding. 10Ks are not my favorite but how funny that you haven’t done one with all your halves.
