I recommend seeing a doctor who specializes in sports medicine if your insurance covers it.
This may sound off the wall, but there's good science behind it. While you're not running as much, use the time you would have spent running to "imagine that you are running." Find a comfy spot, relatively free of distraction, set a timer so you don't have to mind the time, close your eyes and imagine yourself on a run. If dressing the part helps, do that. You might increase the interest level by imagining you are running in Valhalla, or receiving training from Hermes. (I suspect watching videos on running or watching others run has its place, too, but the mental exercise will actually result in physiological changes, or should.) Since it's in your head, unconstrained by reality, you can take short "runs" anytime and anywhere throughout the day; got five minutes after lunch, have a quick run. And you don't have to stop fantasy runs once you are running again after your injury is healed.
