I don't think daily is too much. When I was in my best running shape I would run every other day and make whatever day fell on a weekend a long run. Back then it was 3-4 mile runs for the easy ones and then a 6-8 mile run on the weekend. This was in training for a 1/2 marathon. If you have any running questions, cliffelam was my running guru and I'm sure he could steer you in the right direction. I am on my second pair of Brooks "Ghosts" and I really like them a lot. I know resources are slim when you are a college student, but investing in a good pair of running shoes isn't a bad idea if you plan to stick with it. As cliffelam will tell you, many people run too long in a shoe and they can be harmful at that point or even dangerous. 1.3 is a respectable maiden run, I hope you stick with it and enjoy it. edit: I just finished two sets of tennis and had a blast. It's fast becoming one of my favorite past times.
