You need to get your heart rate in the training range three
times per week for 30 min. each time.  I suspect that 2miles wont quite do
it for you.  If your body can't handle running 3-4 miles 3 times per week,
combine the running with something else aerobic to get the additional minutes
in the training zone.

Also, as you get fitter, and lose weight, you will need to run even
further/faster to get your 3 X 30 minutes in the training zone.  Your joints
will not adapt as fast as your aerobic systems so you may have even more need
to combine running with some other activity.
