IMHO, I would stay away from treadmills and continue running outside. The air is fresher and if you run in trails, things are more interesting to look at.

Like others have said, it pays to invest in some proper attire - at the very least, proper shoes so you can mitigate your injuries. Also, have some decent and breatheable clothing on hand - it'll keep you cooler during runs and you'll be able to move better. And make sure you're well hydrated before and after a run.

No matter how you feel, keep up your running. It can be hard on the body (knees, shins, ankles, feet, etc.) but it's probably the most rewarding form of cardio. There's nothing like a runner's high once you reach that level. Once you become comfortable (e.g. running 8-10 minutes non-stop) you should sign-up for a run (5K is a good distance to start) to keep yourself motivated.
