No running for 14 weeks....gah

I have tendinitis caused by overuse and underdeveloped muscles. My tendons were working overtime to compensate for my underdeveloped leg muscles. My bone scan showed problems in my knees and tibia (shins). I have to have no running for 8 weeks (which I'm half way through that) and then 6 weeks of PT before I can start running again. The physical therapy will help curtail future injuries and if I haven't done the 6 weeks of strengthening, I'll likely get injured again.
