  Try swimming instead. I've never liked the stress running puts on the knees and swimming unlike running works your upper body as well, giving you a more balanced workout.

  Ok, the last time I had this problems, I take a long good rest for about 2 months. Make sure u take lots of calcium eg: milk. Stay away from cold drinks.

  that is most likely where the problem is, you just started a week ago, give your body some time to adjust. also, be mindful of the type of ground that you are jogging on.

  dont take anything below body temperature before the run

  Just continue to jog... That's your body adjusting to strenous activity after a long period of inactivity.

  wear proper shoes bah... but most veteran long distance runners will get shin splint due to the stress put onto the shin...
  
  u can try cycling, but recently i heard that it hurts ur dick. The next best thing is to swim bah, since it can broaden your shoulders and lets u sun tan. But i dont think its as good a cardio as running

  proper warm up and stretching is important
  
  perharps u can try this. before u start jogging or running, go for a jog and a slower pace. get ur body to adjust to jogging before increasing the pace

  i jog at bedok stadium so it should be fine.
  
  i normally will do some stretching exercise, then walk 2 rounds before running.

  is it aching pain or sharp pain?
  
  if aching,likely is due to non proper warm up/never ran for too long.If it is sharp pain that strike everytime the foot lands,you better stop running and consult a doctor to check on possible foot injuries.

  Well.... proper warm up and warm down is essential in running.... try making your warm up and warm down time to 10mins making sure that you stretch every of your leg muscles until you can feel "pins and needles" before the run...
  
  Try buying a proper running shoe that has a good cushioning for the impact of landing... And drink more milk
  
  If pain persist consult a doc

  Well what's your defination of pain? isit sharp pain or aching??? If it's aching is think perfectly normal... just continue to jog and the ache will disappear...
  
  If it's a pain then i think it's due to improper warm up or too much stress is put into your calf when you run due to the way you run....

  maybe stretching is really the problem.
