Definitely go with free weights, because weight machines will not work you properly. Some can even harm you. Machines are good for those in some kind of physical therapy, but for normal healthy people, freebies are the way to go.
Here is a GREAT site about lifting for women:

If your doing this for track you want to build endurance. Do light weights, a lot of reps (at laest 15), and a lot of cardio. I think the best thing you can do is get a weight vest, about 20 lbs, and use that when your walking/jogging. Once you take it off you will feel the difference.

start small don't go straight to lifting 120 lbs 800 times...
just do smaller amounts but do lots of reps.
