Not to be a dick about it, because we all know that's not my style, but did you learn one little thing about your experience? That is, as we get older you can't just bite off big chunks of physically demanding activity if we haven't done it in a long time. That initial 3 mile run was way too much IMO, you should have started back with an easy 1 mile run, maybe less.
At any rate, feel better and heal up soon!

Vain, But Lacking Talent
In regards to the name of that one website that gets filtered, I would imagine that at one point they had an issue with people posting links to highly questionable content. There was a time where that was a pretty un-filtered domain. They've gotten really corporate in recent years and do a whole lot of policing on their subforums. Some (not me) would say too much. I imagine putting the name in the filter helped to kill links to then questionable content.
As far as twitter, I have no idea. Perhaps it's a formatting issue? Youtube and Instagram work really well on the new format. You would think twitter was harmless enough.

So am I reading this right? There is fluid in your lungs? Is there a puncture, or is this the way lungs react when they don't get enough oxygen?

In Crockett news: It looks like I'll be buying myself a wheelset for my birthday. I had that loose hub and went to repack the bearings and everything last night. First off, the outside locknut was a plain 17 mm. But the nut on the other side of the spacer measured at 14.5 mm. What the actual hell? So rather than actually clean and adjust everything, I said screw it and decided to just tighten the hub with brute force using the two outside 17 mm lock nuts. I got it "tight" but it doesn't feel quite right and I'm starting to think that perhaps I missed the hub going out of adjustment and ended up bending the axle a little bit. Even with the bearings "tight" I still have a bit of play in the wheel and you can feel/hear a rhythmic "womp" when the wheel spins.
Either way, I've hated these wheels since day one. They came on the CAADX and despite being 32 spoke wheels, hardly ever stay true. They are also heavy, even for 32 spoke wheels. I think I have a max of about 3K miles on them and it looks like they are already toast. And I do NOT destroy wheels like some folks around here manage to. I had a set of Open Pros I built myself and put well over 4k miles on them without issue. People in the commuting forums talk about replacing Open pros annually after pulling spokes through the rim.
So now what? I think I'll stay cheap with 105 hubs, but what rims?

Everything looks different in hindsight, but I had no reason to think an easy three-mile run would fracture my tibia. I had never fractured a bone before.

The water is around my lung. I'm responding well. The amount of fluid coming out is much less. I get to leave ICU when the tube comes out. That's also when I get food and drink.

I've been running 3-4 times a week for a few months now after taking some time away from it for cycling earlier this year. I'm up to about 4 miles per run now, but yesterday I did 2 miles of hard intervals (more like 1 mile of intervals and half a mile of warm up/cool down) and my legs are exhausted today.

I know within ten feet that running isn't for me. I try semi-annually, and the song remains the same.

+100 Cyclists have to recognize that running is much harder on the feet, legs, knees and hips than cycling and proceed real conservatively.
