I feel great! I got up and took the kids to school and then came home to walk/jog a 5K. My right hip has been giving me problems since the day that I ran 4 miles, so I started out walking. Once I got warmed up, I could walk faster, and then eventually run without the pain. It's the strangest thing! I can go from a painful walk, to running comfortably after moving for awhile. However, once I get home and sit down for a bit, then try to get up, my hip is really stiff and painful again. Must be old age! Anyhoo, I am well on my way to earning the Presidential Active Lifestyle Award!

You might want to go to Pacesetters and take your shoes and have them look at you while you walk/run. I did this yesterday because I was having trouble with numbness in my left foot and hip and come to find out my shoes were too narrow and I needed a wide width. I can tell a difference already.
Hope, I had a similar issue when I was training for my first half. I found that it was weak piriformis muscles and/or strain. Here is a link to a youtube video stretch that has virtually relieved my hip pain. Give it a try for about 20-30 seconds each side, 2-3 times, before and after your run. Do it for at least 2 weeks consistently. If it doesn't help, you'll know it is something else, but like I said, it has completely cured my pain.
