The only way that would be better is to drain it. Put new oil in. Run it and change it again.
That's the way I've done it in the past... Drain/change, put new oil in, run, drain/change. That's ONLY if I had a bunch of miles on it before I stored it though... I always tried to time my oil changes to at least 75% ready before storing.

I'd just run it then... Run it, hell put a couple of easy miles on it, then drain it hot and put in new.
