Zappos x Brooks Run Wild

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.

It has such a great atmosphere and every single thing we ate was delicious. At dinner we had their “cucumber gimlet” cocktail and loved it. It was so light and refreshing.

Now that we’ve taken time to pause, let’s continue this momentum and move forward with action. We know that being silent is not an option and we want to utilize our platform + audience to speak up. The most important thing we can do is get involved and take action on the systemic issues our country is facing. We will be the first to admit, we are still educating ourselves and have a lot to learn but we are committed to using our platform for good.
