Sunday- Graduation party day!

Torrential rain kept us from having our pool party but the kids all had a blast anyway.

Monday- 30 min elliptical +60 min strength training + 60 min indoor bike

After yesterday’s rest day, I was ready to hit it hard today. Although I probably did not “need” the elliptical, that is how I usually warm up before I see my trainer for our workout so I kept that in. Feeling accomplished.

Tuesday- 4.5 mile run + 1100 m swim

I love the run swim combo especially in the summer. While I am already struggling with the humidity on my runs, I am feeling great in the pool. My plan had me doing some baseline 100’s and it went well. Starving!

Wednesday- 90 m strength training

Today was convocation which I am not really sure what the purpose of that is. For me, it was a sneak peak of the actual graduation. My husband couldn’t make it but I was glad to have my daughter along. Seems like only yesterday that I was at hers. How do they get so big?? Finished just in time to get my workout in.

Thursday- 3.75 m run

I was so tired today and had to walk a few times. I think having a few days off of running next week will really help.

Friday- 16 m bike ride

I needed to go burn off some nervous energy before graduation and hanging out with my whole extended family for the day. Felt great to be out on my bike and pushed a pretty good speed.

Graduation finally! It was a great afternoon. My waterproof liner and mascara were doing double time. So proud of my son for graduating with honors. He is off to Indiana University with his sister in the fall. We are a real Hoosier family now! A few of my fave photos:

    Congratulations to your son! Love the cake. You did an impressive job getting all those workouts in, considering the busy week you had. Way to go! I am very anxious to hear what you have to say about Italy. Hubs and I are going in September (for the first time) to celebrate our anniversary.

    • Deborah Brooks says

    Congrats to Max! The cake for his party looks great and I bet it was super yummy too. Bummer about the rain, but glad that everything still worked out.

    I hope that you and the family have an amazing time in Italy! I’m drooling just thinking of all the yummy food you will have there!

    Sounds like you had a great week with some great celebrations (and I’m always starving after I swim — isn’t everyone?).

    Enjoy Italy! I know you will!

    I must say I’m kind of laughing at the fact that sister & brother are at the same college. My parents wanted me to go to the same college as my brother, and though I applied & got in, I never had any intention of going there! Besides, if I had, I would never have met Mr. Judy.

    But almost all my brother’s children have ended up at his alma mater, which is on the east coast (they live on the west coast).

    • Deborah Brooks says

      06/12/2018 at 3:08 pm

      I never would have guessed they would have ended up at the same school! I am kind of happy though. Italy is amazing so far I am eating my weight in pasta 🙂

  11. Fairytales and fitness says

    06/10/2018 at 4:44 pm

    What an awesome cake! That is cool that your children will be attending the same college. Makes things easy when it’s time to go visit!

    Enjoy Italy!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      06/12/2018 at 3:10 pm

      Yes it sure does! Thanks so far so good

  12. Lesley says

    06/10/2018 at 5:03 pm

    Have fun!

    I hope you all have a blast in Italy! What a fun way to celebrate your son’s graduation!

  15. Jennifer @ Fit Nana says

    06/11/2018 at 12:09 pm

    That cake!!! OMG!!!!

    Congratulations to your son! He’s so tall!! Do you have tall family members? My sister towers over me – she gets it from my dad’s side of the family. My mom’s side is average height – no real tall folk.

    Have so much fun in Italy!! Cannot wait to hear all about your travels!

  16. HoHo Runs says

    06/11/2018 at 2:56 pm

    Congrats to your son! They grow up so quickly! It’s cool he’ll be at the same university as your daughter. We had a few pre-events before the actual graduation too which I didn’t understand the need for. 😉 I hope you enjoy your family vacation in Italy.

  17. Teresa says

    06/11/2018 at 9:27 pm

    Congratulations again …I know you are so proud! Have so much fun in Italy …will be following along with you guys and enjoying every single minute!

  18. Debbie @ Deb Runs says

    06/13/2018 at 9:55 am

    Congrats to your son! How cool that both of your children will be at the same university. I LOVE both of your dresses you’re wearing for convocation and graduation. Hope you’re having a blast in Italy!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      06/17/2018 at 9:59 am

      Yes I am so excited that they will be at the same school!
