    Well I'm in OZ - no real cold where I am (and I run at the gym any way).

    A C25k app is really helpful to make sure you do it gradually. RunDouble is a good one. You can use your own music, it gives you cues as to when to run and when to walk.

    Get good shoes. Go to a specialized place and let them help you. Don't choose the cute shoes; choose the shoes that are the best fit.

    Discomfort is fine, but don't run through outright pain.

    Go out, run, walk, whatever. Have fun!
