Know what’s funny about blogging? Especially when you blog the way you speak (like I do)? Eventually you have to write down all the things you say and find yourself googling hers vs her’s at 6:30am so you can appear to know proper grammar before the coffee kicks in.
Oh wait, it’s decaf.
Anyways, in case you are curious… yesterday’s breakfasts: his (the egg bagel sandwich), HERS (that’s right, no apostrophe and the egg scramble with pepper, onion and cheese) and wee one’s.
In other news, one nap yesterday was interesting. I dealt with quite a fussy baby, but she did sleep 12-2:30. She’s also cutting 3-4 teeth right now. I’m going to give it a solid effort of 3-4 days and see how we’re doing then.

I didn’t wog yesterday because I was still so sore from Monday’s #bestbodybootcamp workout.
I sure love strength training when someone makes me do it. (Thanks, Tina). Plus, I knew we’d be hitting up yoga in the afternoon. After snack time.
I love yoga and strength training because they mix things up and help me to feel stronger all over. Heck, even my toes feel strong after yoga.
Do anyone else’s veins pop out on their feet afterwards? Taking eagle into airplane into standing splits forces some serious ankle strength. I’m working on it.
Burrito bowl featuring brown rice, taco slop, avocado, cilantro, sour cream and Texas Pete.
Anyway, I feel as though keeping my workouts varied leads to stronger wogs. And wogs, I’ve realized, are my true challenge. I’m not a natural runner. I work really, really hard at it.
Which is why I feel so proud when I accomplish a new distance, time or just finish a wog with a smile on my face. I like to be challenged, which is why I just signed up for my longest distance yet- a 10k!
I will be running on September 15th (Hailey’s birthday) in the Davidson Run for Green 10k! Want to run with me and see how slow I am in real life?

Tina @ Best Body Fitness says
Look at the guns!!!! Looking niiiiccceeee. And I do the same thing with looking up random grammar things. Or words that I think exist but don’t. Haha!
Danielle @ Long May You Run says
Yayy!! So glad you decided to go with the Run for Green! Word of advice: practice your hills!! I signed up for the half, so I’ll see you there. Is David going to run it with you, or be there for crowd support?
Brittany says
Oh no, hills?! I’ll make sure I do more training outside than on the treadmill. What time does the half start? Will I get to see you?
David is on the fence. He’s been having some knee troubles. My bro will be there running the 10k with me though 🙂
Danielle @ Long May You Run says
Good luck to you and your brother! Make sure you savor every moment of your first 10k- it’s awesome!! I think all three distances start together since they’re all on an out-and-back course. There’s a running group in Davidson and they’ve mapped out some good running routes that you can see here- http://davidsonrunning.com/?page_id=224
Hope David’s knee gets straightened out!!!
(don’t let the hills scare you, they’re not too bad. Just be prepared for them!)
Madeline @ Food Fitness and Family says
Way to go mama! Wish I was closer – I’d totally run with you! I am signed up for the Army Ten Miler in Oct and the Savannah Rock-N-Roll 1/2 in November. I think there are a couple of 5Ks along the way too …
Brittany says
If I ever could do a half, it would be the Savannah rock n roll half. I hear it’s awesome! I can’t wait for your recap!
blackhuff says
Great muscles you have there in those upper arms. My goal is for mine also to begin showing some definition. I can feel them, just not showing yet.
You will do great on 15 September. Can’t believe that in one month your little girl is turning 1 year old. Wow!
Jessie says
Who signed you up for the gunshow?? Ha Ha yes, I just went there.. even if it’s one of the corniest lines EVER!
As always, your meals look delicious. Especially that burrito bowl 🙂
Liz @ iheartvegetables says
Hahaha it makes me laugh when I realize I’m totally blanking on a grammar rule. Ohhhh well!
That’s awesome about signing up for a 10K!!! You’ll do amazing!
Adria @ A Spoonful of Healthy says
Congrats!! On registering for your first 10k! I myself have just registered for my first 5k which is taking place on September 9th 🙂
Brittany says
High five on your first 5k! That’s awesome!!
Susan @ Real Life Travels says
3-4 teeth? HOLY COW! No wonder that little girl isn’t sleeping!
Michelle@PeachyPalate says
If I lived in the US I’d definitely sign up!!!
Rachel Cooks says
Hey! Taco slop! Thanks for the linkage 🙂
Good luck on the 10K!
Brittany says
David LOVED it, so we’ll be making it again 🙂
Jen says
Yay for signing up for a race! I don’t think I’ll be ready to race again by then, but maybe later this Fall we can do a race together 🙂
rodney graham says
Brittany the discount is also available for the half-marathon. t
hanks
Hallie@ChasingHallie says
I am running a 10K on September 15th too down here in Dallas. I have not trained AT ALL! I am thinking its not going to be a great effort but it will be fun!
Brittany says
Hey, we can be virtual training buddies! I actually haven’t been training much either. I wog most days, but never more than 4 miles. Thinking about looking into stepping it up soon 🙂
Hallie@ChasingHallie says
Yes! Virtual training buddies. I think I might need an in-person one too though, I am struggling to get motivated.
Andrea says
Adventures like this is why I run:
http://www.ragnarrelay.com/race/adirondacks
192.7 mile 12 man relay through the Adirondacks of upstate New York. I can’t wait!
Brittany says
That. Looks. Amazing!!!
Danica @ It's Progression says
I have a half marathon at the end of October and I’m looking into registering for either a 5K or 10K in September! I love Fall races.
Lisa says
Looking good! I totally do the same things when I’m writing a post early in the morning! And same with some spelling too…yikes.
Great job on signing up for the race:)
Meghan says
I love how yoga makes me feel! I have a few races on my fall schedule, a 15k and then a 10miler the next weekend.
Erika says
I have my first race scheduled next weekend. This is my first race back from being pregnant and having a baby so it’s been awhile. I’m going to attempt a 10k with no goal other than to finish.
I would have thought it was Her’s since the breakfast belongs to her. I’m going to have to Google that.
Brittany says
Oh no, did I get the hers rule wrong?? It’s quite possible.
My only goal is to finish my 10k, too! Good for you for getting out there. That’s what matters most in my book 🙂
Maria says
I’d love to run with you! Darn this long distance blend relationship!
I’m always Googling what verb tense to use. It keeps me humble 🙂
Brittany says
Yes, this long distance thing is quite the drag. Can you just move this way already? You know you love the east coast 🙂
Maria says
In due time! We’ll make it back there one of these days!
Kelly @ My Love Affair with Running says
Burrito bowl… yum!
Totally agree with strength training making you feel stronger, love mixing it up with my running and stretching/yoga for an awesome well-rounded workout.
Kristen @ notsodomesticated says
I’m doing a 5k in Atlanta with a bunch of church friends in September, but that’s all I have planned so far. 🙂 Good luck with your race!
Matt @ The Athlete's Plate says
What kind of veggie burger is that? Looks good!
Brittany says
Sorry for the slow response! It’s Morningstar Farms “turkey” avocado burger. It’s really good!
Sarah says
I’m running a 5k at the end of August and debating a 5k/10k in October. I miss running, but I am SO out of shape after having my son in April. Now that he’s sorting himself out (a month early, reflux, allergic to dairy) and sleeping a bit more I think I will just have to use that new energy to run! Especially since I have a kickass jogging stroller.
Jen@HealthyFoodandFamily says
Good luck with the race!!!
As always, your meals look delicious 🙂
Blond Duck says
I think I may be a wog-ger. I can’t run faster than 6.7 on the treadmill and take walk breaks every 7 minutes….
