Brent!
You have go the EXACT right approach to this. The one question you’ll ask yourself after you have it done is…”Why did I wait so long?”. After those first few days of no arthritic hip pain pass, you’ll be on the road to recovery. Stay active and fit in the different ways that you have described. Most importantly, stay optimistic. It will get you through some of the down days. I started running at 3 months. It felt so awkward. But over time, my hip got used to me and I got used to my hip. You may surprise yourself at some of the paces that are in your future.
Good Luck to you!
