and our good friend Jacob.

Football is sacred.

Playing catch is therapeutic.

Any time is good time to talk and argue about it.

They always have to prove who is better on the field...

and off the field...

They always want to be comfortable (the RUN Cross Check Tech LS, the RUN Goal Pullover and Sporto Wideleg pants are crowd favorites)

They don't sweat the details, but they enjoy them.

They understand moderation is important, and enjoy a healthy balance of exercise and food.

At the end of the day, give them a beer...

and they might just love you forever.

Special thanks to Alex and Jacob for letting me tag along in their day.

You asked for it, and here it is a side-by-side comparison of our run shorts.

No matter which shorts you choose, each of the Run:Speed Short, Groovy Run Short and Run:Punya Short are set up with the following features:

• Flat seaming for a chafeless run
• Inner liner for a line-free bum
• Zippered pocket so you stride hands free
• Quick dry shell so your sweat wicks and doesn't look like you…had an accident

The Differences:

The Run:Speed Short is one of our top selling run shorts because of its technical functions and universal fit. The venting along the lower back/bum seams keeps you cooled off, and the curved hem along the thigh shows off the biggest muscle in your body. It's a favorite of many of our Carlsbad triathlete ambassadors.

If you're a little more humble about your gams – there are options, still! A few educators and guests have been going a size up in the shorts, since there is an inner drawstring (which won't get lost in the wash!). Just pull that sucker tight and blaze the trails! A higher rise and a mid-thigh length make the Groovy Run Short ideal for those craving a few extra inches top and bottom. Since the inseam is longer, those who are concerned about the shorts "riding up" can quell their fears.

If coverage in the waist-zone is what you're after, the extra fabric in the mid-section of the Run:Punya Short will do wonders (it's moisture wicking, too). The left leg houses the zippered pocket on this short, so the contents won't get in your way during an ab-workout or car ride. The bottom hem is cut straight across on this four-way stretch short, which is again ideal for those more modest about showing off all of their legs.

Now lace up your runners and get your own, by checking out your local lululemon store or our online store.

Above: The Yorkdale lululemon team is ready to race!

I ran my first race of the season earlier this month with ten of my most energetic lululemon colleagues. The first of many group adventures this summer, we were pumped to run as a team.

We met in the early sunshine at our friendly sister lululemon location for a quick morning stretch with one of our community's personal trainers, Lina DiFelice. The store manager pumped up the tunes and runners started trickling in to see what the music was for. They spotted yoga mats, Silverescent shirts, water coolers, and orange slices. Ahhh food. And a clean public washroom! There couldn't be a prettier sight before a race.

Seeing a few familiar faces through the store's window calmed the butterflies in my stomach. A few people from university, some from the gym, even one of my friend's parents! But none were more comforting than the faces of my teammates. Some of us were running for personal bests, some of us were running for fun, and a few of us were walking to support the cause.

The race began shortly after the stretch was completed. With earphones on and little nervous smiles to each other, we were off. As my team dispersed through the crowd, we knew that we'd meet each other at the "bananas and bagels" station.

I'm not going to lie - I stopped a few times during the race.

Led Zeppelin’s "Whole Lotta Love" and two of my teammates hot on my heels was all the motivation I needed to sprint to the end.

1 hour 2 minutes 6 seconds - personal best!

Shaky legs and all, we found each other with big hugs and medals around our necks. It doesn't get better than this: a sunny day in your hometown, 12,000+ people, and laughter and smiles all around. We did it!

Congratulations team lululemon chicken second serving! Can't wait for the next challenge!

Every now and then we love to get gushy about our product. Heck, it's why we're here right? Well for a little Friday afternoon fun we figured it was time to talk about a weekend appropriate piece, the Dance Chill Tunic. It's good for dancing, it's good for chilling, it's good for everything!

So...what DON'T I love about this?! I can already see that the possibilities of this tunic are ENDLESS. Today I wore it with a Scoop Neck Tank and Wonder Under Tights, perfect for yoga after work. Bonus points: I won't even have to change!

As I was commuting to work, my mind was churning out endless "looks" that I could work this with. The material is made of Circle Mesh which is amazingly light weight and cool to the skin, great as a beach cover up over my new Streamline 2 piece? The length is a great layering piece over a pair of shorts too. Maybe my RUN: Speed shorts with an Athletic Deep V Tank on my way to the gym? Always the frugal fashionista, I'm already thinking ahead to fall. Layered with a cotton long sleeve, leggings and booties, I could get warmth from this as well.

To and from, front or back, this tunic top has got me dancing!

Why We Made This:
-Tie tunic that is perfect for before, during, or after a class
-Can be worn 2 ways front to back
-Waist tie can be worn several ways to emphasize your figure best - play and make up your own version
-Made from Circle Mesh with anti-stink properties
-Pairs perfectly with a tank and tights
