It's definitely doable - for sure. The time frame is up to you.
Try entering some local races. The motivation from competition will push you far beyond what you will do on your own while running down the street. 5k is probably the shortest you'll find, but if you get good at 5ks then a 1 miler will be easy.
Also note that it's been about 5 years since I've run a 5k. I've recently lost all motivation to do cardio and I do weights exclusively now, so please take the advice of an actual runner over mine.
