Thanks for all your replies I think it may be the shoes as well, I was just wearing plain adidas shoes...the white ones with the three dark blue stripes...which are my fave shoes but don't have much support. Plus, when I was younger (and more fit and involved in sports) my doctor had my wearing orthotics because I have no arch support and it was causing knee trouble...probably should have thought about that before trying to run again.
So, I dug out my old "athletic" shoes and they're Nike Air Max...they're probably easily 7 years old but have barely been worn...would they be ok? They feel like they've got good support but I'm sure shoes have come a long way since then.
And Laurel, it's funny you mentioned the Running Room, I was actually just on their website reading about their "Learn to Run" clinics...but my bf basically said he'd kill me if I spent $100 learning to run
