The Honolulu team cheers runners on during the 37th Honolulu Marathon! It was the fourth-largest race in the United States and lululemon athletica Ala Moana was ready. Our crew came out in full force for the 37th Honolulu Marathon, an event attracting nearly 24,000 runners from Hawaii and around the world. On the morning of [...]

race report: the philadelphia marathon

December 17, 2009 – 5:33 pm

I was at the end of a long training cycle that started in June, and it was all about to come down to just over three hours, and then the season would be done. Elyse after her full marathon. Was I nervous? There were the normal pre-race jitters, but I tried to keep them at [...]

when mind conquers matter

December 7, 2009 – 4:06 pm

The amazing little athletes are ready to run at the Challenge Athletes Foundation’s annual San Diego Triathlon. I recently remembered why I love what I do, and even better I remembered why life is in and of itself is so precious. This past October our lululemon La Jolla team was given the job to lead [...]

why i race

November 19, 2009 – 8:12 am

Meet Jon, a guest blogger from our Walnut Creek store who loves to sweat, run and inspire others! I ran the San Jose Rock n Roll Half Marathon recently. I’ll discuss my performance later in the post, but I had to get some thoughts out of my head and onto the screen (pen and paper [...]

how to listen to your body

November 11, 2009 – 3:18 pm

Above is a picture of Elyse and what can happen when you don’t listen to your body. As runners, we learn to push through pain and discomfort. However, we are often stubborn when it comes to listening to our own bodies. When you are in tune with your body, you can recognize the signs that [...]

on the other side of the race

October 8, 2009 – 11:16 am

If you were to ask someone to wake up before dawn to do a little volunteer work… it would take a dedicated and committed person to step up to the challenge. But when lululemon athletica Ala Moana store manager Corey came calling, a group of Honolululemons woke up bright and early to support the local [...]

24 hours in a van

September 10, 2009 – 3:12 pm

One of my favorite annual run events has become the Hood to Coast Relay, a 197 mile race from Mount Hood to Seaside, Oregon. Each team consists of 12 participants, with each person running three legs of approximately 4-7 miles. The legs consist of a variety of difficulty levels from extreme up hills and down [...]

see you on the flip side

July 30, 2009 – 5:01 pm

Above: Our lululemon race volunteers and cheer squad keep the energy high! Usually on race day, I’d get up early to eat a small breakfast, get dressed, and get stretched for the kilometres ahead. Yesterday, I woke up earlier than usual on race day, but with none of the same concerns that I would normally have as [...]

In this episode of Char in My Suitcase, Char and Julia bring you the goods of what went down last Saturday at the Chip’s Not Dead Yet Memorial Mile. This is, by far, the funnest charity run in Vancouver, put on by Chip Wilson, the founder of lululemon. I leave you with four words: Char. [...]
