Too embarassed to go out running, why? and wot to do?

I really want to go out and try running/jogging but I feel really embarassed, so embarassed that I might not go!!! I'm not sure exactly why but I think it might be because I think people will stare or look at me becasue I look stupid or am wearing the...

wrong kinda things!
Wot should I wear and how can I stop myself feeling embarassed before I go and while I am doing it?

Thanks xxx

yeah what he/she said^^

NO WORRIES GIRL I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM KIND OF SHY AND I AT TIMES WONDER WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF ME. YOU COULD GO JOGGING EARLIER WHEN THERE ARE LESS PEOPLE OUTSIDE. SOMETHING THAT I DID WAS I GOT A DOG TO RUN WITH ( A GREAT DANE TO BE EXACT) REMEMBER GIVE PEOPLE A REASON TO STARE 1) BECAUSE YOU LOOK GOOD 2) BECAUSE YOU HAVE AN AWESOME LOOKING DOG NEXT TO YOU- ALSO GUYS ARE ATTRACTED TO WOMEN WITH COOL LOOKING DOGS.

I totally agree with ksha25. When I lived in town I wanted to go walking/jogging but was too embarassed and self consious. I finally got a dog and took her with me all the time, I felt like people were looking at the dog more than they were. It's great and if you don't have a dog or can't get one then maybe a friend or neighbor would let you borrow theres
