I had some scares the past couple weeks. My previous stress fractures were on my left tibia, however about 2 weeks ago my right tibia was getting really sore. The soreness was pretty isolated in one area, which was some cause for concern, however it wouldn't get any worse during my runs so I had no idea what was up. I decided to rest a bit so I took 5 days off. Since then I've rattled off runs of 5 miles (Wednesday) and 7 miles (today) and my legs are feeling really good. No pain.
I'm thinking it was just sore muscles or ligaments or whatever is down there. I'm hoping it's nothing worse as I'm scheduled to start my marathon training at the end of next month. I just need 5 more months of injury free running to accomplish my goal of finishing a marathon.
And the 7 mile run this morning was glorious. My pacing wasn't fast as I tried to keep it at my marathon pace (about 9 minute miles) but the temps were in the low 60s and the air was pretty dry.
