Walk for a good solid 10 minutes to warm up. If you did damage to tendons and muscles then they will be more stiff than before.
I would for the first time out instead of trying to run a continuous mile, jog for a minute or two, then walk then jog etc. Evaluate how it feels after. If that goes ok, then the second session you can try longer bouts of continuous running. I would continue with a walking warmup until you are completely healed.
Depending on the type of injury, it isnt necessary for the aftermath to be completely pain free. Sometimes if you wait for that it will never happen. If you have muscles that havent been used in a month and scar tissue that gets broken up when you run, small amounts of achiness may be part of the healing process. It is a delicate balance to learn what feels like pain that harms and what is just "regrowing" pains.
In general:
If you are very warmed up before you start and you have sharp or severe pain while running stop.
If you are poorly warmed up and get pain stop, warm up well and try again.
If you are warmed up well and you get a burny achy pain or minor twingy pain it is usually ok to continue as long as it doesnt increase. Usually if you get this kind of pain following the exercise with icing is beneficial.
If there is no pain while running but you get achiness later that is usually ok, again ice may help. If you wake up the next morning with dramatically increased pain then it is time to rest and rehab a while longer.
Do NOT take any kind of pain killer or anti-inflammatory prior to running. You need to make sure you know what your body feels.
