What am I doing wrong?

Question
I want to start running as a sport, but cannot do it for some reason.  When I tried to run a mile on my school's track for gym, I had to stop after 1/4 mile, and even jogging/walking my fasted for the rest took me a total of over 12 minutes.

I can run a mile on a treadmill with moderate incline at around 4mph, but several times I ran half a mile at the YMCA, and afterwards I had to lie down on the nearest mat because I was about to faint (seeing spots and feeling dizzy). I also tried running around my slightly-inclined neighborhood, but got about 1/4 mile in before I had to stop because I was wheezing.

I know I don't have asthma, and I make sure to eat a good meal a half hour or so before I try to run. What am I doing wrong? I'm 5'2" and about 115 pounds - could the fact that I'm heavy for my height have something to do with this? Please help! How can I improve!

Thanks so much,
Stephanie Chu

You are doing nothing wrong.The only thing that your doing wrong is not consulting with somebody who will know how to direct you in the right direction.Your height weight is fine ,but forget a meal before your run.Stephanie getting in shape does not happen over nite.My skills on the internet are limited, if you really want to get world class coaching with your situation you can call me.You can get my contact info. on my site at www.rentacoachinternational.com
