Who: lululemon
athletica Sherway Gardens and PYC Etobicoke combined forces this past Sunday
for one extraordinary event: Two Legs, One Team! Inspired by all of the runners
in our community, the lululemon Sherway Gardens team wanted to show our support
by throwing a badass, sweaty, pancake party for all of you; and with one week
until the Mississauga Marathon, we didn't want those prepping for the big day
to do their last few runs alone! In addition to all the lovely lemons and PYC
yogis working hard behind the scenes, the event wouldn't have been a success
without the 100 guests that showed up and showed us what they were made of!
What:
1) RUN. Smiling faces and colourful luon
filled the PYC Etbocioke parking lot with an early 8 am start time. After
some dynamic stretching lead by our newest ambasador, Gavin, we hit the
pavement for a 3, 5 or 10 km run (runners choice!) around our local community
lead by three pace bunnies. It was the perfect weather to rack up the mileage,
and it was amazing to see how many other runners were taking it to the streets
as well! Back at the finish line we were greeted with water, oranges and
bananas to keep us fueled.
2) YOGA. Follow your ears to the beats and
you'll find your way to the back of PYC. DJ Mike? Rows of yoga mats? This could
only mean one thing - an outdoor power yoga jam! Our beautiful practice was
lead by two powerful PYC yogis, and it was the perfect opportunity to play on
our mats like never before - Cool Breeze? Check. Sunglasses? Check. Call Me
Maybe? Check. Friends? Check. Check. Check. One hour and a handful of downward
dogs later, we found ourselves refreshed and rejuvenated! And who could forget
our impromptu Spice Girls jam sesh post-namaste?! Thanks DJ Mike!
3) PANCAKES. Back out front Laura was
flippin' pancakes by the dozen. Coffee, yogurt, fruit and lots of maple syrup
rounded out the healthy & hearty breakfast ..just what the Doctor ordered!
Together we cooled down, chowed down and got down (to the music), while also
sharing our stories, goals, and dreams with each other. It was certainly a
heartwarming sight to see our community all in one place sweating, smiling and
laughing and I was so grateful to be a part of it all. From educators to
ambassadors, walkers to marathoners, and young to the young-at-heart I was
truly inspired by each and every one of you who came and showed us why our
community is so amazing!
Wore: We saw it all! From luxtreme to swift, pants to shorts, swiftlies to rulu, tanks
to pullovers - it's clear that everyone has their own personal preference when
it comes to running.. What's your style?
