Answers: I recently started running a couple of months ago if that helps but I don't know why it would start up now.

You may have an injury to your Sciatic Nerve. Alot of times when there is Sciatic nerve trouble the pain radiates to the hip. Is it your right hip and it's kind of a jolting or stabbing pain?
It can actually effect either hip but 90% of the time, its the right.
Alot of times when you are running on hard surfaces you can rupture or herniate discs in your lower back. If that happens alot of times the disc will lay on the sciatic nerve making it become aggravated and then the trouble begins.

I know right now you are thinking that it is your hip that hurts not your back right???lol
Well, the Sciatic Nerve starts at your spine, then crosses your lower back to both hips, down the side of your hips along the side of your thigh, over your knee and across your shin towards and down to your big toe. When the Nerve is "damaged" the pain can really show up anywhere along that route, but mostly when it is caused from a disc it shows up first in the hip area, alot of times without any back pain at all.
Something like this can only be determined through a MRI, simple X Rays won't show it because of course it's soft tissue damage, but a doctor can usually tell what is going on.

If it isn't that kind of pain, then I'm sorry that I wasted so much of your time with such a long explaination, and suggest that you do have a X Ray to see if the pain is from simple Arthritis.
Since it is so humid in most areas right now Arthritis is really showing up in people who don't usually feel it, because the humidity aggravates it, especially when coupled with strenuous exercise like running.

Good Luck, I hope you find the answer you are looking for!!

Could be bone spurs. You would need an xray to find out if it continues.
