Running fast or long distances after a long break is never a good idea. As suggested by Dr Gawai, start with small distances and gradually increase your speed / distance. From your history, it seems you have shin splints or pes anserinus bursitis ( clinical pictures would have better).
Next Steps
In my opinion, you need to do the following:
1. Stop running/exercises for a few days
2. Ice packs locally to the painful area (s) 4-5 times a day
3. Volini or similar gel locally 2-3 times daily without massage
4. Crepe bandage worn locally throughout the day. Remove at night or earlier if pain increases.
5. If pain still persists, consult your local orthopedist immediately for evaluation and medicines.
Hope this helps :-)

Since you have started running after a long time your body is reacting this way. Please run at a low pace and short distance and gradually build up the intensity over 4-6 weeks. If the pain doesn’t subside or it hurts at rest or you have swelling please see a Sports med or Orthopedic Surgeon Near you.
Hope this helps
Happy running.
