Couch to 5K program!

You can run a 5K....yes you!! A 5K is 3.1 miles. You have probably walked 3.1 miles at one time before, but you can also run it! Here is an easy schedule to follow. Jog for a minute or so at a time and then gradually increase that jogging time. Give yourself time to recover before jogging again. You should jog at a comfortable pace...not one where you are huffing and puffing!
Good Luck!
