You have to pace yourself and practice. You have to regulate your breathing too, if you concentrate on your breathing rhythm, you won't focus on the pain.

One mile is not that bad, even though it was horrible for me to run through the whole thing for the first time. I highly reccomend a gradual process, increasing your enurance a little eah day. For example, the track I use to run was 12 laps for a mile. I would knock out 6 or 7 before Im exausted, then I would try to run an extra lap untill I made it to 12. I also reccomend that you run with music, keeps your concentration off the exaustion. It also helped me when I ran with a friend, because it created a type of competition, and you'll get a motivation to win.

Google Couch to 5K running programs. It is a method to train people that have never run before. Using this program, you should be able to run a 5K (3.2 miles) in about 6 - 8 weeks. I think you can probably get up to a mile in 2 weeks.

Work up to it...I started walking from my home to a convenience store and back (about 3.5 miles round trip)...when the walking got easy, I increased the pace...when that got easy I started walking a block and jogging a block on my way to the store...then it was walk/jog the entire round trip...then I jogged across the cross streets too, not just the sidewalk part of the block...
...and so on...as you get fairly comfortable doing "x" then add a little more so you are putting forth more effort...when that gets easier, then jog a little more...and a little more...
Good luck!

Work up to it.
Find a track. Run the straights and walk the curves. Do eight laps like this until you can build up stamina.
When you feel comfortable, run the straights and one curve, walking the other curve. Do this for six laps
When you feel comfortable, run the laps, but do four laps. You have run your mile.
if you do this five days a week, you should hit your mile mark between six and eight weeks

Start small and work your way up.
You can't run before you walk, and you can't run a mile without stopping until you can run 200 meters without stopping.

breathing is most important. Pace yourself on a 4 count. Inhale on every 3 steps, then exhale on the fourth. Also, Inhale through your nose, exhale through your mouth. Inhaling through the nose will help regulate the amount of oxygen you are taking in so that you are not sucking wind.
Good luck!!

You just run.
I'm assuming you meant "run a mile."
