Muscle Memory, Weight, and Adaptability.

Does anyone out there know what exactly muscle memory is and how it works? I used to run 10ks back over 10 years ago and just started walking/jogging again and am up to walking/jogging up to 4 miles. My legs seemed to be adapting and recovering quickly despite my heavy weight 207 pounds. I want to push myself harder but am scared to injure myself since I still weigh 207 pounds and was told that folks shouldn't run long distances until they are 199 pounds or less. My question is will my "muscle memory" will allow me to extend my running to longer distances sooner than later? Or should I just keep doing what I am doing which is walking- jogging. I have ran/walked up to 70 minutes and still felt like I could keep going but again don't want to injure myself. At what point do you know you are ready to run for a whole mile without stopping? I really don't want to screw this up and am training for a 5k coming up with October 13, 2007. Can use any help out there! Getting antsy and want to take my training to the next level and really start shedding these pounds.
