Get good shoes. Maybe some sorbothane inserts too - talk to a running shop. And to start with, plenty of rest between running sessions. The big risk for us large chaps is shinsplints, so if your shins start feeling a sort of nasty deep ache that isn't just muscular, that's the signal to rest up. I trained into a half-marathon in four months at 235, so it's very doable.
