Do you have a friend with a dog who could walk ahead of you? It worked brilliantly with Ali.C's boxer pup. Or start off with a 6ft training lead, walk the length of the lead away and tempt the pup with a treat or toy to come towards you. Before you know it you'll be looking at ways to slow it down! :-)
There have been a few suggestions on this recently, with lots of puppy owners on the board. You could try using Search.

Put the puppy on the lead and let her wander/play/whatever for ten minutes - be with her for all of this, we don't want any accidents :-) with the lead just following, then very loosely hold the lead and follow the pup where ever for 10 mins never letting the lead tighten. Then a few minutes of following you type heelwork with either tasty treats or an exciting toy for pup to focus on and you lightly holding the lead. Continue for as many days as necessary :-)
