When I started running, I thought i had to stick to a regime and didn't want to stray. Even in sickness or when I was overtired. My advice for new runners is not to do that. Sometimes your body needs to rest and it's okay to take a day or two off if you are sick, or you are run down. You're not doing your body any good by pushing yourself too hard. And I echo the statement above. Get good running shoes. Go to an actual store that specializes in running shoes. They can help determine the best kind for your stride, etc.
I do list more fitness tips (including how to work out with children, which can be really challenging) on my website
Good luck! Take it slow and set small, attainable goals. Don't try to conquer the world of running all at once. Listen to your body!
