I've been working out with the age group/high school team in the mornings. I'm off this week so I didn't have to leave practice early to go to work. Went 5000 yards--the last time I did that Jimmy Carter was in the White House. Overall felt pretty good. Swam some fly, went 6:05 for a 500 free at the end of a distance set. Disclaimer--it took me two years to work up to this.
My rough rule of thumb is to allow myself one beer per night for every 1000 meters swum that day. I have lots of little games I play with this rule -- extra credit for fly & back, credit for nights I somehow manage to not drink any beer etc. etc. etc. And of course weekends don't count!
I'm still losing fat after 6 months back in the pool, so my formula seems to be working, and I haven't had to go over 4,000 yet:D
