2 things: 1. Stretch. Speed in general is a function of flexibility (which explains why I bring up the rear in several activities!); 2. Ease into the jogging with longer periods of run/walk. Do a 10 minute easy walk warm up, followed by, say, 10 more minutes of brisk pace walking. Then, ease into a 30 second run/jog, followed by 2-5 minutes of walking, and repeat this several times. After about 45 minutes of being out, backtrack into a 10 minute warm down easy walk.
Do the stretching AFTER the walk/run. Your body is warm and doing it before does you no good.
