The,normal, aches and pains when we begin running... are many... it will ease as you get stronger; but...warm up really well. brisk walking, even for a little longer than the 5 minutes
Then,, try to relax, we do tend to land quite heavily when we begin.. thumping down with the concentration of actually running and holding our bodies tensely. Land gently and lightly, I call it kissing the ground with your feet
Check this pst out too..

and then...stretch after each and every run...these exercise are great
