What you want to do is warm up a little bit before the run.
I usually do about 20 squats (no weight!), and some calf raises and maybe jump up and down a few times. After that I stretch for about 5-10 minutes and then I start running. I also stretch after I'm finished running. If I don't do that I get shin splints and they are terrible.
Definitely stretch before a run, but warm your muscles up a little bit before you do.
