Geoff, if you commit to telling us how it's all going, you'll have that motivation to keep on running!  You've done pretty well so far so you've obviously got the commitment to progressing.  Don't be scared to walk - a minute walk followed by a minute jog (repeated 3 or 4 times), then as you progress keep lengthening the jog and walk - with the running taking slightly longer than the rests.  My wife started like this five weeks ago and is now running 10 minutes with 4 mins resting (repeated three times).

Getting out is the important thing - so if you're out 3 times a week you'll find the confidence coming rapidly.  if it doesn't feel right, do one less rep or go for slightly shorter time section - there's no point in getting injured or getting that feeling that you dread the session.  If you can't talk or sing to yourself as you go along you're going too fast!

Keep on posting - you'll find you get huge amounts of support from people on this site.

Hi Geoff. Well done. Getting started is one of the hardest things to do so that alone is something to be pleased about!

I can't add to Kathryn's advice which sounds very sinsible to me. Good luck.

Brian.
