Right now I feel like I'm tip toeing on a really fine line, I want to make sure I fall on the right side of it.
I e-mailed this to my coach and he told me that all is good, we're starting to break things down but now I have to let it build back up and he wants me to swim instead of run until my legs feel 100%. So that puts a little damper on things. I was just starting to get into this and now he's cutting me off. But what about my addiction!! You can't get the same high off of swimming.

JK - I've been down this road before. I'll be happy to take it easy for a little while. But then watch out.
