Everybody will tell you about the appropriate clothing and running shoes. Hear me out I have something else to say-
Good Music

Good music keeps you occupied and you don't worry about the feet till you get back home to realize you will have to crawl to your bed. Create a playlist.
The regular stuff:
Prepare yourself- Get everything that is needed. Don't buy the normal tracks, spend some and get a reebok/ adidas with an inner lining- it is an investment. It will prevent the tracks from clinging to your body as you sweat and keep you less cautious about looking odd. Buy a nice pair of running shoes. You don't want to damage those knees. Some bright coloured t-shirts so that nobody runs over you by mistake. :P
Find a spot- Yes. Find one area where you can run uninterruptedly. Chose a low traffic area or a jogger's park or something preferably with a mud ground. Gym is fine but I personally find nothing motivating about running in the same spot looking at a mirror or a wall. Get out- feel the air, breath the morning.See the sun shine and jog to glory! :)
Measure- All the smart phones we carry around, turn on the GPS get a Map my run or similar app. This will record the distance, avg. speed, show a graph of speed variations, highest speed. Yeah! It is awesome. At the end of a week do the basic trend analysis and you get to know your body better.
Get a jacket/sweatshirt- You need it. Just when you finish the jog wrap yourself in the jacket/sweatshirt. Keep your body warm. Why is this needed. Google it lot of material on it.
Have faith- The most important of all- have faith. Everything is difficult in the beginning. Enjoy it. Relish the initial pain. See the brighter side of it- it can only turn gold in the long run.
I have finished a week of jogging. Did it do good? I don't care. It is fun. It feels good. :D
P.S: I am just an individual who is sick of all the advice on fitness. I am doing it my way. The way I would like it to be. Feel free to join the club if you believe this works for you!
