Summer is the time many of us return to running. We've been inspired by spring marathon season dominating social media feeds, and there's the promise of feel-good endorphins mixed with a dose of vitamin D.
And with excellent timing, running brand Brooks is holding a summer sale with hot deals on clothing and running shoes. Highlights include the Brooks Ghost 15 (men's and women's) and Brooks Glycerin 20 (men's and women's) reduced to less than $100. Both the Ghost and Glycerin are long-running, trusted lines and are great daily trainers for beginners.
There's also plenty of apparel to pick from—at the very least, treat yourself to a new pair of socks. Here's what caught our eyes.

A good running cap is a summer running essential. The adjustable back closure on this model makes for a comfy fit, and the sweat-wicking internal headband and mesh paneling helps you keep your cool.
Brooks summer sale—running socks
