Is there such thing as a lazy 11 mile run?

Because, if there is then that's what we did yesterday.  We were supposed to start at 7.  My partner woke up at 650, 5 minutes after I texted her that I was ready.  So, we didn't actually start til about 745.  Add on the fact that she hasn't run 2 steps in 3 weeks and the pace slowed shortly after we started.  At around mile 5 her knee started hurting.  We were on an out and back course so we just kept going that last half mile before turning around.  Ended up walking and finishing in 2:30.  So, we've got some work to do before November 11th.  Hopefully the knee isn't anything serious.  Also on the path they were running a 20 mile race.  Actually saw a couple people I know. One of them got chewed out by a biker for not hearing when the woman screamed LEFT!!! she then proceeded to stop her bike to yell at this girl.  That's the problem with races out there, they can't exactly close off the course.  I'm sorry, but I'm thinking the girl that's challenging for a top 10 spot should get the right away, not some woman out joy riding.  Wish I would have thought of something smart to say in the moment. Well, today is off and tomorrow is CrossFit.  Maybe I'll have some AF people to torture with the workout.
