I'd say that's pretty good to start out. If you're sick after a run, especially after just starting out, you need to take it a little easier. I'll probably catch flak for this, but I've never thought walking was even close to running as far as exercise. For one, it is not the same quality of cardiovascular exercise. Also, if you were to to the same distance walking as you can running, you could very well be walking for a LONG time. I'd say stick with running, slowly increase your distance over several weeks, and if you get to feeling sick, short of breathe, or dizzy during a run, walk for a bit. Pick out a landmark and make a decision to walk to it, then pick up the pace again after that. Keeps from walking for a real long time, which is tempting.
