we asked:

@lululemon Why do you love your body? Tag your answers w/ #WeAsked & we’ll share our favourites in Friday’s blog.

you answered:

@fr0zenfate: because it keeps me strong at the gym during my spinal surgery rehabilitation!

@LyndaWatkins: love my body-it bore 2 fab individuals- @matt_corker & @scorkerirwin & after many knee surgeries held up to do a 42.2k

@TCRG: Tall, short, chubby, ripped - doesnt matter to us. Every single one of our girls kicks serious ass.

@chelsiewatts: It's strong. It allows me to run, bike nasty hills, climb mountains and sweat once a day.

@DrKevinDC: My body got me to the top of Mt. Baldy and Mt. Wilson plus a dozen other hikes this summer

@Hamid_McKenzie: I love my body because it is a machine built for performance, and unlike metal, this machine likes being pushed to the limits!

@MarissaVicario: It has carried me hundreds of thousands of miles running, cycling, swimming and through millions of chaturangas

@Bodyimaje: I love my body because it's the only vehicle I got at my disposal in order to make it to the finish line we call "Life"

@sammmaurelio: As a vocalist it encases my instrument. A friend: a shoulder to cry on. An athlete: ability to lift. A lover: a heart to give away.

@Kevin__Wharton: because if I listen closely it tells me exactly what it needs.

@RunMommaRunNews: Love my body because I can chase my kids, chase a PR and chase my dreams with it.

GroovieGurlie: As a nurse who has worked with the elderly, I know this is as good as it's gonna get, and it's all downhill from here!

Above is physical therapists Robert Gillanders and Sarah Thorpe, Dane Rauschenberg, Elyse Braner (who wrote this!), and lululemon Ambassadors.

lululemon Logan Circle kicked off Marine Corp Marathon weekend in Washington, DC with our pre-race "Run into More Runners Party". Eighteen elite runners and running experts from across the industry were present to mingle with and advise lululemon guests on everything run. Only at lululemon would the everyday runner have this type of access!

Marathon runner, author, and motivational speaker, Dane Rauschenberg kicked off the evening by leading a pre-race run. Rauschenberg completed 52 marathons in 52 weeks, while raising money for charity. He captivated guests with tales of his marathons, as well as signed copies of his book, See Dane Run.

lululemon run Ambassadors Julie Culley, Lindsay Wilkins, and Mike Hamberger interacted with guests as well. Julie competed on this year’s USA team at the World Track and Field Championships in the 5k. Lindsay was the second place finisher at the 2008 Marine Corp Marathon, and Coach Mike owns and operates his own running and triathalon personal coaching service.

The event was also filled with medical professionals, from sports psychologists to physical therapists. Run charities such as Team in Training, Girls on the Run, and Girls Gotta Run were also on hand to teach runners how they could give back.

Perhaps the highlight of the evening for me were the attendance of two women that I look up to in the industry. Elayne Chow, of Graceful Edge, a website dedicated to hip and active women. Elayne brought me on to be the “Run Expert” for her site, which has grown tremendously in the last few months. The biggest surprise of the evening was the arrival of Brae Blakely. Brae is the Founder and Executive Director of the popular Zooma Women’s Race Series. It was an honor to have a powerful woman in the run industry at our party!

All in all, we all had a great time, and we definitely ran into more runners!

Who are you running into?
