I reallllllly want to try and begin running. My goal would be to participate in one of the runs at the Princess Marathon next year. I am currently about 30lbs overweight and have NEVER run in my life (as a sport.) I know nothing about running but I do know that I need to get a great pair of shoes and start a good program. I have had several friends say to try a couch to 5k program...anyone here used one and where did you get it OR are they all the same? I looked at one at this link:

Is this it or should I be looking for something else to get me started? Also, any recs on shoes??
