Well, you have a decent amount of time to prepare so I would slowly start to build up your mileage. For example, since you usually run a mile or two I would run three miles everyday (bar Sunday) for the remainder of the week. Once running three miles gets easier, I would raise your mileage again. Continue running four miles a day five days a week and build up to five. From there you can raise your mileage but it all depends on if you plan on being competitive in the race. If not, then running 4-5 miles 5 days a week will be adequate conditioning for the 5k.
