When I started, I ambled about a quarter mile before my lungs felt like they hurt. I ambled that quarter mile for about a month. Then I was able to amble a half mile before my lungs hurt. Then I was able to amble that half mile a bit faster.
Six- NO! SEVEN years later, I run an 8 minute mile, and I do a 5k before work four days a week. Keep ambling. Aim for achievable goals, like "This month I will run my same distance but a little faster" and "This month, I will run at the same speed but a little farther." The lungs thing is what happens when you start pushing yourself. Or it's the lung plague. But probably pushing yourself. :)
