My strength progression and other areas of improvement indicated that I was ready for this. I do not believe I tried something too early. Further, in the last two weeks, I "jogged" for a grand total of about 10 minutes on 3 different attempts. Each time, I walked for about 4 minutes and followed my walking with approximately 1 minute of jogging. This was not painful. The day after, and two days after, and three days after, though, have been a different story.
I am no longer sleeping well and have put myself back on a NSAID regimen. Currently, I'm icing my hip while writing this blog and prepping dinner.

I'm a bit frustrated and will interrogate my surgeon on Friday when I see him for my 3 month appointment. Someone recommended that I see if they will prescribe a more serious anti-inflammatory to help.
While I began this post saying I did not believe I tried things too early, I may be willing to admit that maybe it was ambitious. However, both Dr. Ho and my therapist encouraged this progression and I guess the only way to know if my body was ready for this was to try it out.
To those who are reading--thank you to the two of you and I wish you the best as you continue to recover. I will keep you posted and will continue actively living my life running around and doing things the best I can, just without a formal running workout:)
