Literally, idk wtf i'm doing wrong but if it isn't my plantars foot, my it band, my foot tendon it's my hip, i'm never "comfortable" until i get a mile or 2 in and the pain dulls down. Should i just get some new shoes? I'm using some minimalist ones and i guess that isn't cutting it.. I was thinkign about snagging a good pair of Asics, what do you use?
You could try new shoes, but a lot of your issues could stem from a weak core or hips. Maybe yoga or strength training can help you?
Are you sitting down the whole day?
That's called the warm-up. Standard-issue since middle school sports.
You should probably change something about your training or nutrition
It is most likely a combination of weak core, hips (glutes), do to pronation from your arch not being supported by minimalistic shoes.
My testicles feel weird when I first start running, kind of like when you are about to make love to a woman. I'm not sure if I'm going to end up like Lance, or if running excites me that much.
The three rules of distance running:
1. If it hurts, make it hurt more.
2. Any race you can walk away from is a bad race.
3. If you're not injured, you're not training hard enough.

YMMV but personally I always have aches and pains during my warmup. Experience tells you whether those are little aches and pains or something bigger that you should adjust for. No one can feel what you're feeling so they can't tell you what you should do. Figuring out your own body is one of the toughest things about running but it's also one of the most rewarding because it pays off big time.
It is always something, which is why you have to keep on it with various preventive and corrective muscle strengthening exercises (maybe ankle weights at most, the rest body weight stuff), like eccentric calf drops, shin splint exercises, step-ups, quad strengthening exercises with ankle weights, dynamic "stretching." The key to my running 4k plus each of the last five years after decades of injuries every week or two, not counting 15 years out with one injury.
