Is it possible?

Is the leg healed? I did a hilly 85 minute run last night on hard surface. I felt a few random sensations in my leg here and there, but they might have been completely psychosomatic. I'm definitely in terrible running shape, and I'm carrying extra weight that wasn't there before. Those factors could be contributing to extra stress on my body as I attempt to ease back in to this running thing. I definitely don't feel the shooting pain anymore when I put pressure on the bone. All signs are pointing in the right direction. I don't want to jinx myself, but maybe on my next run I'm going to suffer compound fracture of my tibia. We'll see...
