First off, I want to apologize for missing my post day last week. We have a great group of volunteers and leaders and we always manage to get a post up. So thank you for the back up!
Today was a 4 mile run and an upper body work out. This was a little more distance than I normally do, but i managed to get through. It is a 2 mile loop that remains pretty flat with a few decent inclines.
I would also like to wish a happy belated 4th of july, since I missed my post on the 5th. God Bless

Team Wednesday a little off the normal timing because of his European location. Currently in Lithuania for the World Championships of Rowers under 23 years old. The first preliminary races were yesterday where the US had a strong first 3/4 of the race but Great Britain closed hard and edged them out for the win. They head to the semi finals on Friday to hope to qualify for the Grand Final on Sunday. The entire We Are One Family wishes Alex and the US team the best of luck. Pull hard!

Last day on the East Coast with my family which has been an incredible past two weeks. Every day and every moment was cherished as our family grew and celebrated these events with all of our closest friends and family. Can’t thank the men and women enough who dedicate their lives to serving this incredible country and giving us the privilege to celebrate these types of events with our loved ones. Thank you.
Tuesday’s workout was a run through the trails at Mills Falls Park. If my Mom enjoyed running, she could be an incredible runner and, ultimately, an even better triathlete. I’m working on it but its definitely a love/hate relationship with her. I actually got a 3 mile run in once I flew back to Los Angeles at around 1 o’clock in the morning. Good to be back but definitely ready to be back on the East coast full time. These next couple of Wednesday/Saturday posts should be quite interesting as my brother and I embark on our cross country road trip. Who knows what type of workouts we will be doing.

Hey Team Monday, welcome back to the working week. I hope everyone had a great weekend and got to spend some time outdoors. It was hot here in LA but from what I gather the rest of the nation was even hotter! I talked to my folks in Wisconsin and they told me it was over 100 degrees on the Fourth of July! Good heavens!
Not much new to report from my end. The past week’s workouts went quite well; having Wednesday off of work made for a good opportunity for a long bike ride. Today I went for a quick 5k at sunset, which proved to be quite pleasant.
Instead of a long entry this week, I’ll give you guys something I don’t offer up much; a picture! I’m sure most of you have no idea what I even look like, so here’s one of me repping my dri-fit on a beach run.
Enjoy your week! See you next Monday.
I hope everyone had a great 4th of July week! The Vogt family returned from a great week at the beach where there was plenty of working out going on. Everyone was preparing for the annual 4th of July Firecracker 5000 5k Race. Below is a picture of all the racers, all of whom had great races.
The working out didn’t end at the beach though. Everyone had some extra vacation indulgences to work off. Today Michelle Vogt worked out of the elliptical, while Megan Vogt and Jack Vogt ran on the treadmill. Workouts were kept in doors today to avoid the heat.
Hopefully the weather will cool off here in Baltimore this week so everyone can get back to their outdoor workouts.
4th of July is a holiday to celebrate our independence, let’s not forget all the sacrifices that were made in order to give us that independence. And the continued sacrifices being made to maintain our independence.
What an incredible day for my family. It’s been quite a week with road races, bike rides, trail runs, water skiing, barefoot skiing, wake boarding and swimming. Not only was it an unbelievable 4th of July week but it was the week of my sisters wedding. Gina had me doing ab workouts with her and making people feel guilty when she was going out for runs.
Saturday was quite the day but my family never goes without thinking about the daily sacrifices that are made by our military members. Enjoy the rest of the weekend 365ers.
And best of luck to my brother in Lithuania for the Crew World Championships.

Out in beautiful New Hampshire for a long weekend. It has been so hot in Minnepolis lately that running outside has been unbearable, so a quick run along the breezy shore was perfect! Since I’m not training for any race at the moment, I haven’t been getting out as regularly. Instead I have been enjoying early morning yoga on the lake :).Definitely missing having a schedule to keep me on track so I think I have decided to do another half marathon this fall. Any suggestions of good ones in the Midwest?
I was excited to fill in for Tim today and support Team Thursday.
I ran a loop along Rock Creek Parkway and through the National Zoo. While the run is only just a little over two miles, it’s always a tough workout for me. The half mile or so through the Zoo is entirely uphill and plays mental tricks on me the whole way up. And, with the heat in DC today, it was extra hard.
Honestly, recognizing how small my silly half-mile struggle was in comparison to the enormous sacrifice our military makes on a daily basis got me through the run.
Happy Fourth of July!
Happy Birthday to DK!
Congratulations to lil’ Nicky for the 5-mile road race win (for the 6th consecutive year…) in just around 27:00.
Still out in Seattle training for the U23 World Championships. Only a few more practices in the USA and today had two solid race pieces. We fly out to Lithuania this coming Friday and everyone is very excited to go and race.

We’ve had a ton going on over the past few days…getting ready for my sister’s wedding! So the workouts haven’t been as frequent but still trying to get a good sweat in every day. We are gearing up for the big 5 mile 4th of July road race tomorrow!! All up hill….
We took a nice after dinner walk with my Husband tonight, who is recovering from surgery. To think where he was a week ago, it’s absolutely amazing how resilient the human body is.
Practicing our choreographed dance for the wedding tonight was also a way to get a good sweat in!!
Happy Birthday to DK…her birthday is the 4th of July!!
