I'm thinking about starting up running, but I don't even have a pair of sneakers to get started in. I want to do it right, because I LOATHED running all through high school, and I think that shoes were one of the biggest problems, other than PE is not the best place to work at your own pace.
HOWEVER, I just finished by freshman year of college (so I'm poor), and since I'm not sure how serious of a runner I'm going to end up being, I don't want to fork over a ton of money on shoes that I'll (possibly) hardly use. I've heard that it isn't good to use your running shoes for other activities, so I'm not sure what to do.
Any suggestions for shoes and/or starting running would be very welcome!
