I'm newbie too, one who is recovering from running/riding induced injuries. My suggestion - follow the rule of thumb of not increasing your mileage or your time by more than 10% per week not matter how good you feel while you are running. And stretch, fully, after you run. And make sure you have decent form and decent shoes - get checked out buy a pro if you can. These are all things I wish I had done when I started so I wasn't suffering now.
PS I second the plug for coolrunning. I had an account there too although I have now switched to beginnertriathlete.com because it is more geared towards multiple sports.
