Our Favorite Things: Kigo Footwear

by Isis on April 25, 2011

Lee and I recently had a great little meet up with the ever-so-rad Patton Gleason of Natural Running Company. We talked of running, shoes, how babies change everything for the more interesting, etc. If you haven’t met Patton in person, we definitely suggest you reach out to him via Facebook or Twitter. He is one heck of a guy.

Anyway, Lee and I were doing yard work one weekend to discover a package from Natural Running Company by our grass seed. We opened the box and there were shoes Lee had ordered but there seemed to be a little something for me! I thought to myself “I didn’t order anything- my feet are swelling like nobody’s business-I wish I could run.” I opened a box with the name Kigo on it and to my surprise it was a casual, super lightweight, barefoot technology shoe. I put them on and they were so comfortable.

To me, they are my new flip flops. Why? Well, they cover my feet so my feet aren’t all gross at the end of the day. The design of the shoe is so much better for my feet than flip flops. They are breathable and easy to slip on and off. Did I mention they are stinkin’ cute? I wear them to work (lululemon athletica) and I get compliments daily!

Not only do I recommend the Kigos (because they are truly amazing) but I also recommend shopping at Natural Running Company. After speaking with Patton about my style and what I look for in a shoe, he was able to find me the perfect pair for my life right now. His customer service is unreal and that is so rare in the running shoe world.

What’s Sweeter Than Honey(Milk)?

by Isis on February 14, 2011

Happy Valentine’s Day! We wanted to share a very sweet contest that’s going on over at HoneyMilk.com…you may even say it’s Sweeter Than Honey!

Whether you love or hate Valentine’s Day, everyone has had a sweet, tender, radical, amazing moment in his or her life. We think in terms of honey around here and how sweet it tastes when it’s going down, so naturally we think of those moments as “Sweeter Than Honey.”

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! Tell us what’s #SweeterThanHoney to you on Twitter and you will be entered to win a free case of Athletes HoneyMilk.

Since we aren’t eligible to win… Here is our #SweeterThanHoney moment!

We’re taking it back to 2006 and the Chicago Marathon. This is where The Running Couple really began…and of course it started with a race! This time it was just myself and I had convinced Isis to come watch. Even though we had dated on and off for a handful of months before, we hadn’t really decided if we were going to make the long haul. I think after Isis saw my amazing inaugural marathon performance she was hooked…she may not tell it that way though. Anyway…after the “Sweeter than Honey” weekend in Chicago we had both made our minds up and 11 months later we were Mr. and Mrs. Hargrave!
