Jogging

When I had my left hip replaced in 2004 I was told I would never be able to jog or run again.  For 7 years I would actually have dreams that I was running.  It isn't like I was an avid runner before I had my hip replaced, but I did enjoy being able to push my body in that exercise form.  I tried running a few times in that 7 years, but every time I would end up with pain in my left hip. 

Then something changed this year.  Maybe it was the fact that I had been exercising with a coworker and I was able to jog in place.  Maybe doing that motion built up the correct muscles.  But somehow I was able to start jogging in little spurts at the beginning of this year. 

I decided to start the Couch 2 5K program the last week of August.  Amazingly enough my hip hasn't hurt during this whole past month of jogging.  Today I was able to jog for 5 minutes straight, and and additional 6 minutes broken up over two spurts.  I'm wondering if I'm crazy to have my ultimate goal be to run marathons.
