    Oh running shoes are a must other wise you may end up with a black toe nail! I know from personal experience it has been a year and its still growing out.

    Plan ahead for a 5 k funrun in say 3 to 6 months. It is easier to have a goal. Helps with motivation and getting you out the door on those rainy days. Have fun

    I routinely buy Saucony. Great brand and they hold up very well.

    12K comfortably. Count me impressed. My distance record is just over 10 K; 6.65 miles.

    I started C25K about a year ago, and since then have run in many races, including a half marathon and am doing a full marathon in a few months. My advice is to take it slow. Your speed comes with time. The C25k program does a great job of building your running base. Take your time, get good shoes, and give it time. I agree with the others that planning for a race (like a 5K) is a great idea to keep you motivated.
