from personal experience, i can work my muscles harder and still keep good form when i do weights before cardio.
it is more difficult to push through a three or four mile run after you've just done weight training with your legs, but you may want to vary your work out so the days you do legs you have an easier cardio day. then when you do upper body, push yourself on the runs, bikes, eliptical machine...
what's your goal? weight loss, overall strength?

try doing your warm-up and then when you lift, do more reps (10-12) and/or more sets(4). make sure you're still keeping good form and not cheating to finish out the last few. you'll have to adjust your weight settings. also, do a circiut to work the whole body.
then go into your cardio. if this is still too much and you feel like giving up, alternate your days, but do more cardio(running) for the stamina.
when you incorporate the weight training you'll be building the muscle you need for the endurence.
remember, if you want to keep weight training, and you should, make sure your form is good and you aren't cheating. it's quality, not quantity. and if you're too tired to lift after your cardio, don't sacrifice the form.

keeping proper form is very important. Make sure your doing everything properly ... and make it a practice to do them the right way first. this is why when your beginning weightlifting, its good to master the form so you can get the best results, especially when you add on more weight.
endurance comes with time... if u keep getting your muscles worked out and running then your on the right track.
if you do a sloppy run after a workout in the same day ... then maybe get in some more carbs before that run ... give you a bit more energy so your body can actually go. but wat ambee said.. make it a not as hard run ... after awhile ull be able to run pretty good after a workout.
