    Google "couch to 5k" and "couch to 10k". I know quite a few people that have used this plan to help them get into running. A lot of runners go back to this plan after recovering from injuries so as not to reinjure themselves. However, since you're a little short on time you may want to tweak it just a bit. Hope this helps and good luck!
