> I very rarely go hiking due to living in an area without a lot of hills/hiking stuff(Northern Illinois).
My favorite source for new hiking trails is the Falcon Guides.
> any brand recommendations?
I've had good luck with the REI house brand for basic items.

Check out the Ten Essentials for day hiking. You can start with an inexpensive but good quality pocket survival kit like this to get the basic safety items, then add water bottles, extra clothing, a small day pack etc. This one has a first aid kit and a headlamp.
Move up to this list when you're ready for overnight or longer. As he suggests, try the running shoes in your closet right now before you run out and buy fancy hiking boots. Try a homemade alcohol stove before you buy a JetBoil. You can get a good name brand pack under $100 at REI. Frequently simpler and cheaper is also lighter. If you want to throw money at something, upgrade your sleeping bag from the cheap 5 lb Walmart synthetic fill bag you were going to buy, to good quality down ($150+).
