It seems that many athletes on here are complaining about stress fracture. Are they running too hard or is just common in winter track or even just running in the winter? Stacking mileage too fast maybe. Or maybe just tripped badly and kept going while running thinking its only shin splints!?
Injuries is the dark side of running. Some people get different injuries at different times. Ironically as runners we know when to cut back or adjust our schedules around early signs of running injuries. The question is whether or not we gamble on the possible outcomes. Usually we try to make it through the season before it gets too bad or sit out the season and cry about what could have been, rather than cry about the more severe injury that came after the season. It's always best to take every little ache seriously in the early stages rather than being overly optimistic, stubborn, or ignorant.

Funny, because I am starting to get back into the groove of things after suffering one in the fall of 2015.
Maybe too much road running due to snow? Maybe carrying a few extra pounds from the holidays?
I make sure to not even touch the roads for a training run anymore.
I got my stress fracture around the same time as you but I tripped on ice and things went down after that. The coaches stacked my mileage too quickly so my last year in high school was crap. Still trying to get back to old times );
I think we can all agree it's Strava's fault
