I have found coffee or lunch is a good first greet and meet. You can always continue the date if all goes well,if its not so great drink meet doesn't take long.

Something simple, like lunch or a coffee. A quiet place where you can talk. If you enjoy talking, that can be followed by a walk in the park, if one is near. Something with no pressure, something with a quick and easy retreat if necessary.

I usually go for the movie theater then maybe a walk or sit down and have coffee after and chat. My reason is because I'm kinda shy at first and a movie seems to be a good icebreaker..Plus its something else to chat about after the movie.
Yeah, jogging is a great way to have a date and not have to talk to your date for most of it... at least if you're doing proper jogging.
Also a stupid idea, because if you're not the same height your strides will vary and it's unlikely both of you will be able to jog at your own best tempo.
Going to a daytime public activity involving a shared interest is always nice. This should be a venue where you can freely talk with each other. It's a good way to get to know your date and if the chemistry isn't there, at least you spent a pleasant afternoon doing something you would have enjoyed alone.
