THE BROOKS BLOG

Name : Keely O’Neill

Job at Brooks : Territory Representative

Your favorite apparel item : Viva Capri

Why you love it : I love it because they are cozy enough to wear to bed, grocery shopping, and especially on my runs. Also, I like the flare a little below the knee, so they feel light enough and not constricting while running. Sidenote: I tripped on a reflector during the Disneyland Half Marathon and skinned my knee and hands up pretty badly, but the capris weren’t damaged at all! Pretty durable!

Favorite sport : Water polo

Favorite movies : Gangs of New York and Dumb and Dumber

Favorite book : Naked by David Sedaris

What are you currently training for : Seattle Rock ‘n’ Roll full marathon

Favorite shoe : Ghost 2 …excited for the Ghost 3 this summer!

Name : Nijah Twigg

What is your job at Brooks : Customer Specialist—part of a newly developed customer-support focused team.

Pets : Only child, spoiled rotten, center of our universe, Duncan. All-white beautiful mutt of a dog!

Favorite movie : Princess Bride and Count of Monte Cristo—equally enjoyed.

Explain your love of Zumba : I love this class because I am sore in all of my target muscles the day after, yet during I feel like I’m just dancing.

Your favorite Spring 2010 apparel item : Glycerin T

Why it’s awesome : Soft, luxurious, easy flatter fit, cool breathability and everyday wearability. Transitions from sleep to exercise to casual mall wear. Love it, love it, love it! Perfect with Viva Flare or my fave pair of jeans.
