Jack, I'm fifty something and have had both hips replaced - one three years ago and one this past February and never missed a season. I only run when working games because of the high impact on the joints, but exercise at least an hour every day on an elliptical with circuit weight training. As you should know from your Doc, running on a hard floor will cause the replacement to wear out sooner and make a revision necessary (for me, the trade off is worth it) but otherwise you shouldn't have any problem, especially if you're in top shape.
