I would advise against running for now. 2k steps per day is nothing. Sorry, but it's the reality. Start cycling again - it's much easier for your knees, especially if you're overweight. Thing is, most people (including me until 5 years ago) make a resolution that they will start training and diet and stuff - they go hard for 2 weeks, get injured, stop. Wait till next year. This is not how it works - you need to set a long term goal, and go there progressively, very slowly in the beginning. Your goal for the first 6-12 months is simply consistency - show up every day - and you achieve that by training easy. But training everyday. If you just start walking, and cycling a bit everyday - and you increase the distance or time by 5-10% per week, even if you start very low, you will be around a shape allowing you to run a marathon by the end of the year.
