Why is that when i start running for a couple of minutes there's piercing pain on either sides of my hips?I always loved to run but unfortunately after running for a minute or two there's a piercing pain on either sides or both if i keep pushing it.. Why does this happen? and is there anything i can do to avoid such pain?
Thanks a million!

Your probably not running evenly. Remember, your arms are also a very important part of your running

Interesting question.
Without knowing anything else about you or you running style, there are just a couple of things that come to mind.
Perhaps the most important thing is the question about stretching. Are you doing any stretches at all?
The human body, while not an automobile, is like a car in this way: You would not start your car on an icy, winter day, and immediately start driving at 60 MPH! The reason is that cars need to warm up, just like people do. With cars, you have cold metal grinding against cold metal, and that just does not work out too well for the long term survival of the car.
People need to warm up properly before running! Part of that warm-up should be a series of stretches, and that should include all of the major muscle groups. Legs, arms, shoulders, trunk twists, etc etc. The idea is to prepare your body to run. None of the stretches should be bounced, either. You should move into the stretch gradually, and then hold it for 20-30 seconds.
Once you start to run, start slowly at first. Again, running will subject the body to stresses that it normally does not have to deal with, and this is especially true if you are planning to run a few miles or more.
The next time there is a track meet on television, or in your area, watch the runners before their events. They are often stretching for quite a while before they even get out on the track.
I can assure you of this: You will never see a world class runner who does not do a lot of stretching both before and after the event. We stretch before in order to reduce the chance of injury. We stretch afterwards in order to reduce the amount of residual tightness that often occurs after a particularly hard event.
Let me add a little anecdote here. Derek Clayton was a world class marathon runner, who held the world record for the marathon longer than anyone else in the history of the sport. The one thing that cut his career short was that he got injured often. It was even suggested by some (kiddingly, of course) that Clayton wound up on the operating table so often, his surgeon could buy a new luxury car each year. In his early years of running, he didn't do much stretching at all. When he wrote his book "Running to the Top", he devoted an entire chapter to the importance of stretching, commenting that if he had it to do over again, he definitely would have done a lot more stretching than he did.
By the way, listen to your body. If there is pain, you should pull back. If it fades, continue. If not, then it's better to stop and get it checked out right away. A doctor who is skilled in sports medicine should be able to diagnose the injury and suggest the best treatment for it.
Good luck, and good running!

you have running cramps. drink lots of water slowly throughout the day (no chugging) to hydrate. this should help alot. also while your running focus on breathing in through your nose and out your mouth - or focus on breathing out more than you breathe in.
