Not running and not happy

It's been 11 days since I last ran. I decided that I had ignored the doctor's advice long enough and, now that the race was over, I should rest my foot completely so this stress fracture can finally heal. That means no running whatsoever. I can now say this officially sucks. After taking 3 days off from any kind of exercise (I did run 26.2 miles, after all!) I went to the Y and got on the stationary bike. After about 5 mintues of pedaling I couldn't help looking over at the treadmills. I started thinking "Well, I could run for just a little bit. That would be OK." But I shook it off and kept my butt firmly planted on the bike. Since then the temptation to run has gotten even worse. To add insult to injury, my foot isn't really feeling much better. What's the deal with that??? I made a deal with myself that I would give it at least 2-3 weeks. I'm only 11 days in so I'm going to try to be patient, but after that I'm hitting the pavement whether my foot feels better or not. I need to run not only for my physical well being but for my mental well being, too. This not running stuff blows.
