I feel your pain . i was an obsessive runner until 2008. I am still missing it so much.
About you, what is your doctor saying? If all goes well i would think you could return to normal activity in about 4 months, just a huge guess from a patient like you. I have had 11 spinal surgeries and i am trying to remember how long i had to stop my activity after surgery. It is not coming to me. Maybe 6 months, i guess your doctor is the best one to answer that one.
I have a surgeon that loves to see his patients very active so he always released me to exercise earlier than i had read. I was happy with him.
good luck and i hope some others answer you
