| You could start by running a short distance, as much as you can handle and still carry on a conversation. Try running and when you're tired, walk, then run again. Also, get a good pair of running shoes.
Actually, I went from running 3/4 of a mile when I was beginning, then to 3 miles in a matter of 5 weeks, with the help of my trainer. If you like, you could look for some training programs that would suit you best.
Good Luck!
