It kind of sounds like shin splints. (Its not as bad as you think!) I know that it was a fairly common thing for guys in the military who hadn't been running a whole lot. Just make sure you do good warm up and cool down stretching, and make sure to listen to your body. If it really starts to hurt, just walk for a while. Also, make sure that you are taking in enough water. Not just to keep from getting thirsty. It will help nutrients get to where they need to go and keep you on the go!
As for stretching, its kind of hard to explain in words. So I think with a bit of digging around, you might be able to find what you are looking for. I would probably be stretching the abs, quads, hams, and calves. Make sure you stretch before AND after. If not, you will pay the price with the soreness.
Either way, I don't think that there is any reason to lose hope. Just make sure that you are at least working towards your distance, whether it be walking or running. You will eventually get there I am certain. If you are truly wanting to do this thing for time, then I would suggest doing some wind sprints. They are not fun, and I certainly don't suggest doing them while you are dealing with shin splints either.
