Jimbo - I would try to use swimming as "recovery" from runs. I find that after a long run, I can still get a really good swim in, and not really tax my system too much more. After a good run, try a lighter swim, and see how you feel. You'll get twice the workouts, with not near as much energy expended. Plus, I usually am pretty jacked up after a good run, with plenty more energy to spare, so the swims help there too.
Plus, I usually hop out of the pool and run to the hot tubs for real recovery.
