Well, I'd say 3 miles is WAY too far to go after a 1 year break. Should have started with maybe a mile and some walking.
Otherwise, I'm bad to ask, since I shelved running after my knee started bothering me too consistently. I'd love to try it again, but maybe after the MS150.

Den't run through a sharp pain, esp in knee. SOmething's up.
Striking funny? shoe problems?
My general advice is small, lighter strides. Take more of them with lighter footfalls.
But take it easy, if you've hurting, like actual pain(not subtle aches/soreness) after 1 mile, going 3 is dumb.

This. some aches are ok, but pain is not ok. Knee pain aint nothin to fuck with. Take some time, ice/ibuprofen or aleve, and dont rush back in.
I swear by the 10% rule. dont increase by more than 10% on a given run or week from your longest. All my injuries are from overtraining, getting eager, jumping in too fast.

Shoes are more about mileage than years. Have they seen a lot of use?

Heres a tip...dont train with the intent of signing up.
Sign up and then train, you will be committed and will have more motivation. So much this.
That was precisely what i did.
decided to take up running. went for a few runs. signed up for a half marathon. cost me just under $100 so you bet your sweet ass i was motivated to train

Knee pain may be from poor form caused by weak hips. I got some knee pain halfway into my marathon training last year. I started doing some side planks, leg lifts and other hip exercises and the pain went away. This may or may not be your problem, but it wont hurt to try.
