i was supposed to ask a colleague to join her in her lunch break jogging, but words dont come out of my mouth. im too scared to just ask.

how do you gather the courage to talk?

You could just get up your nerve and blurt it out like Sophiesmom said. If this goes well it will build your esteem for the next step. There's also exposure therapy for people in your situation that has been helpful.
