A couple of things I'd consider to help ward off niggles getting back to it. Firstly, try to run on soft surfaces as much as possible. Grass/off-road is good for a softer impact, but also being slightly uneven it can lessen the risk of overuse injury while your running tendons and muscles are re-strengthening. The other thing is cross-training; cycling, swimming, etc. will complement the cardio base fitness but also act as "active recovery". If you can mix it up, maybe consider running every other day initially, before building up frequency and length of runs.

Yeah, it feels like DOMS... I'll try and push though it this evening and just keep an eye on things.
Part of the reason for running again was to try and alleviate this weird pain in my right leg/ass cheek when raising that leg, seems to have helped a bit.
End of July sounds reasonable. It tends to come back pretty quick and there's no particular rush or goal...
