Zappos x Brooks Run Wild
Sponsored by Zappos! During the summer we try to spend the majority of our time being active outdoors. Our fav ways to get outside include walking to coffee in the morning, going on a run in the afternoon, obvi taking Maverick for a walk, exploring a new hiking trail, or a sunset beach walk in Newport. With Jo being located in Orange County and Jacqs being in Nashville, we are always trying to find ways to get outside and enjoy the sunshine and fresh air. There’s no better way to get those endorphins flowing than enjoying the good ole outdoors.
The outdoors have an immense amount of health benefits. According to The Harvard Medical School your Vitamin D levels will rise, you will be happier, your concentration will improve, and it can lead to quicker healing. Have you ever had a leisurely beach day or went on a hike and to put simply, just felt better immediately after? Mother nature has some straight up magical powers.
“Green” exercise has been proven to benefit individual’s mental health such as improvement in self esteem and all around mood. Next time you are feeling in a funk, step outside and take in some fresh air. Get your body moving and let nature do the work for you. An outdoor run and/or walk can completely flip around your mood.
Quality running shoes are SO important to us, especially with everything going on with Jo’s hip right now. We honestly did not realize the importance of investing in quality shoes with support until a few years ago when Jacqs was training for a triathlon and developed a Morton’s Neuroma in her right foot. The cause: improper shoes. Now we are very particular with the type of running shoes we wear to prevent injury and protect our bodies as much as we can. We’ve tried so many different types of shoes over the years, and know how to select ones that are good for support!
These Adrenaline GTS 20 Brooks running shoes running shoes have just the right amount of support and cushion, and are so comfortable for running and walking. Even with all the cushion they manage to be super light weight. Also, these are from the run wild collection which is a very limited edition set with animal and snakeskin patterns, which we obvi needed to purchase.

Keep it Sweaty,
Jo and Jacqs
