So, yay! I have Snapping Hip Syndrome! My hips have clicked since my teens, but it never caused discomfort or any other problems. While I don’t hear any clicking or popping while I am running, apparently this hip issue I have been having is related. I was given a script for an anti-inflammatory, and for PT 3x per week for 4 weeks. The doctor didn’t mention any stretching or strengthening, just that he wanted to PT to do ultrasound on my hip. I can not afford the copays for all those visits. 
Therefore, I will be consulting with a PT friend and possibly going for an appointment to the PT I went to for my knee to see if stretches and targeting some muscles for strength might not do the trick. I’m going to see what affordable avenues there are for me!
Meanwhile, the doc didn’t say that I need to stop running, so I went for a 4 miler when I got home. I started to feel it again at about 1.5 mi, and stopped to stretch at 2 miles. Felt much better and then found that shortening my stride on the downhills helped a lot.
Anyone here have any experience with this Snapping Hip Syndrome?

Did an easy 4 mile run. A little less than half of it was with my son (ie, slow) but I also kept my pace slow for the rest of the run. I stopped at 2 miles and stretched the hip with the issue.

Just to round out the run to about 20 minutes. It’s still cross training, right?

I hadn’t planned on running, but all the elliptical machines were full, and so was the bike. I could’ve gone across to the other building, but I just ran instead since all the treadmills were empty. I took it slow and had just stretched, and just started to feel something in my hip right towards the end. I stretched some more, hopped on the elliptical for just a few minutes when someone left, and then stretched again.

I tried to run as slow as possible due to my hip issue. (The title here may be misleading… it wasn’t a race.) After feeling how easy it was, I started wondering if I haven’t been putting too much energy into all my workouts, and not having enough slow easy jogs.
I think my hip stuff might be caused by my IT band, and either it’s just ITBS or it may have caused some bursitis. Somewhere around 1 mile I started to feel it, and after a little while I stopped and stretched that IT band. The pain went away for a bit! When it came back, I stopped and stretched again. I also went easy on the downhills. I tend to fly downhill and pass a lot of people in races on the slopes, but I think I ought to save that for races and such since it may be a contributing factor here.
Afterwards, I stretched the ITB a little before leaving the park, and then came home and stretched it and other muscles some more. After that, I didn’t feel a thing! Then I iced it. Perhaps I will also take some Ibuprofen as well… it’s that time of the month for me anyway, so it’ll have a dual purpose. 
Later I will stretch some more, and then ice some more.
I have an appointment Wednesday with another orthopedic doctor. Hopefully either he will have something helpful to say and I won’t have to stop running, or perhaps my stretching and icing will be solving the problem.
