Hi, my name is Scott, and I have a problem. It all started with a shirt. It was comfortable, and it fit well, and it kept me cool and dry in the summer when I’m out shooting races. Then it became shorts that had all the same benefits. Yes, I have a lululemon addiction.

If you have seen me shooting at races this year, I have a uniform, whether you realized it or not. Metal vent shirts and Kahuna shorts. I have my wife to blame. She got me started with it, and now, I rarely wear anything else. Because of this, we have become good friends with the ladies at the lululemon showroom in Lancaster, PA. Their store on Queen Street is a bit of a test to see if the brand would be well received in the community. It’s more than just a store though. The company encourages all of their employees to get involved in many parts of the community, the biggest and most obvious part being the fitness area. They host Mat to Market Yoga classes on Saturday AM, and also have a running group that meets up fairly regularly.

The store also reaches out to influential fitness people in the community, and seeks feedback on what they like and dislike about not only their lululemon clothing, but other brands as well. They invite small groups together to share their feedback, and show one of their favorite pieces of clothing to help inspire new ideas.

As a way to celebrate the fall, the store invited several of their friends from the area to come out for a flag football game at Clipper Magazine Stadium, home of the Lancaster Barnstormers minor league baseball team. I had raced a cross race that morning, and went straight to the game thinking I was probably just going to shoot. For the first half, that worked out as there were an odd number of players. Another guy came a little late, which meant I was drafted, and my cameras were handed over to Vee and Heather from lululemon.

It turned into a great and fun experience being able to play on a professional field. The competition was fierce, as each team wanted the bragging rights from the win. At the end of regulation, the score was tied, and we went into overtime. My team scored first, and was able to hold off our opponents with an interception that was run back for a touchdown to end the game.

With the game over, it was time to head to Federal Taphouse to enjoy some food and drinks. With so many beers to choose from, and tons of great food, everyone was happy.

Thanks again to lululemon on Queen Street for organizing a great event.
