I have never smoked by the way. I feel like it's kind of interfering with my running when I feel like I am not getting in some really good breaths.

That likely means that
you're running too fast for your (current) level of run fitness and is incredibly common for new runners!
It can be hard to "Run Slow", but if you keep your pace to 70-75% of your max effort, you'll be able to run longer and more comfortably, which in turn will build your run fitness WAY faster and safer. Rule of thumb....if you're out for a casual run, you should be able to carry on a conversation fairly easily.
