I apologize for just disappearing... when things are going well, I tend to keep quiet! I've been running (run/walk) for about 7 weeks now, in prep for a 10k on May 18th. Things are going very well-- no pain in either hip at all! I'm 4 months out from my second (R) hip. I'm thrilled with my success! I plan on running the 10k "to finish", meaning with no time goal. (this is tough for me... I'm very competitive with myself).

Good Luck! only 4 months out huh? I was told to wait a year before any running. Wish I got the six month doctor lol

Yes, I jumped the gun. I really went slow with my running, and I am lucky. Would I recommend this? Probably not. But I did it with my left hip too. I'm not saying it's right for everyone or anyone for that matter. It's just something I chose to do!!
