Hip Pain

I'm on week 2 of c25k and I'm already addicted to running. I absolutely love it! But my left hip has been really bothering me and I was wondering if any of you experienced hip pain when you first started. It started out feeling like normal muscle pain but now it's starting to really hurt. It doesn't hurt when I'm running but it hurts when I sit down for a bit and then stand back up. Everyone keeps telling me it's probably my shoes but I researched running shoes before I started c25k because I wanted to make sure I was doing it all right, and went to an actual running store and they fitted me with my running shoes. Plus I paid way too much money on them if they're the problem I'll be really angry about it. I'm thinking the pain is stemming from the fact I've been a couch potato for the past three years plus I sit on a stool a lot at work (I work at a hotel).

    stretch out the hip flexors and tight hamstrings can cause pain in the hips
