Nice post with some good tips.

As a coach who has helped dozens of beginners get running my biggest piece of advice is: don't over do it!

Many beginners get excited and push too hard, too soon. Even a lot of experienced runners don't understand that rest is just as important as the run. Running/training breaks our body and with rest it adapts and recovers to be stronger. If you keep training or train too hard, too soon your body can't recover and adapt.
