Ditto what every one else said, plus......
Couch to 5K (C25K). This is a great beginning training program. FWIW, I started with this and moved on to a One-Hour Runner program, 10K's, etc, etc. In additon, you'll find the coolrunning web site to be a great place for advice and encouragement, especially for newer runners. Here's the link for C25K.

Finally, join Pacers if you haven't done so already. The newsletter will plug you in on events, volunteer oppty's and the local running community.
