I just got Mark Remy's "The Runner's Rule Book"

http://www.amazon.com/Runners-Rule-Book-Everything-Know--ebook/dp/B0039MH4M8/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1383838354&sr=8-3&keywords=rules+for+running

It was an unexpectedly practical little compendium of how not to make a fool of yourself as a new runner. I wouldn't necessarily suggest buying it, but borrowing it from the library would be a good idea. Very lighthearted.

    The Runner's Field Manual is even better.

    1) Explain the difference between running and walking, without actually doing either.
    2) Name four places you might run, and cite the pros and cons of each.
    3) Create a side-view drawing of a runner showing proper running form. Use arrows to point out where and how proper form is being followed.
    4) Write a script for a cautionary public service announcement titled "Too Much Too Soon"
    5) Talk to a doctor about your running. Be sure to discuss how much you run, how often, how intensely, etc. and to mention any history of health problems. If you can't find a doctor, talk to somebody who resembles one.
    6) Locate a brand-new runner who is thinking about signing up for a marathon. Persuade him not to, without using the words should, shoudn't or insane.
