Runners run

I ran 10km, which is the longest i've ever run.
I was running yesterday, when at about 30min into my run, my hips started to hurt. I have good sneakers, it was calm and mild. So it wasn't the shoes. Does this happen to anyone here. I ran 10km, which is the longest i've ever run.

I was on a 9 miler one day and by 6 my hips were hurting. Funny thing was that if I pulled my water belt away from my body the pain would pretty much go away. I was using a Nathan belt that was stretchy and had velcro closure; only my third run with that belt and I believe it was too low and too tight. It took a long time bor the paint to finally go away but I now use a non-stretchy belt with a clip so there is no pressure placed on my hip. I really believe the belt held my muscles too tight against the bursa and caused the inflamation in my hip. I now run ten miles on the weekends with no more problems. I highly recommend NOT to use the stretchy belts!

That's interesting - I just recently started having some IT band issues after getting my distance up, and on those long runs I've been using a fuel belt which I had to keep really tight around the hips to keep in place. Both hips have been sore after that... I'll have to think about not using it next time I start running long again.
Re-read what you wrote (noting the bold I added for emphasis) and you will understand why this isn't anything to be concerned about at this point.
