Women's Health magazine had a good beginners program this month. It is only 3 days a week.
You start and end each run with a 5 minute walk.
Week 1: Run 2 min, walk 3 min; repeat 6 times
Week 2: Run 3 min, walk 3 min; repeat 5 times
Week 3: Run 5 min, walk 2 min; repeat 4 times
Week 4: Run 7 min, walk 3 min; repeat 3 times
Week 5: Run 8 min, walk 2 min; repeat 3 times
Week 6: Run 9 min, walk 1 min; repeat 3 times
Week 7: Run 30 minutes

Steph, if you have a smart phone, download the Couch to 5K program. Same thing you are talking about, but it breaks it down into time and you can create playlists to run to through the program. I'm on week three and my 5'2" self who doesn't have a body for running is RUNNING, and for three minutes at a time. I've got a few people together for a 5K in Feb. Let me know if you want to join!
