If your dog is not use to running 2 miles i would not take her on a 2 mile run. start with maybe a 1/4 to 1/3 of a mile and then work up to the 2 miles. It may take several weeks. Before exercising her I would have your regular vet do a physical on her and a geriatric profile (bloodwork) to make sure all is well. If she has a heart murmur she may not be able to exercise too much. If she is having joint problems I would get her on a glucosamine/chondroitin product like Cosequin. It can take 6 weeks before you see a change bit it may help with her stiffness. It is a pretty safe drug.
