Turkey Day Plans
It has been a tradition of mine as long as I can remember to get out and do a race every Thanksgiving. I will be traveling to Indy this weekend so i am going to get the chance to do something new. I think it is 4.5 miles. I will knock it out early then head for the turkey. Anyone else going to be turkey trotting?

Then requisite beer drinking and breakfast burrito eating.
It's just not Thanksgiving without a Turkey Trot! I'm participating in one in Houston, a 10K.
May you all earn yourself an extra slice of pie!
Signed up for Turkey trot 4 days after IMAZ. Too soon?
No dry land running for me right now...but I am planning on a Thanksgiving morning mountain bike ride. Maybe I scare up a couple of wild toms...
If weather permits I will ride outside. The forecast is not looking good though.
We will be going to my sister's house for our meal. She lives in Chicago, so we're not traveling. Yay!
This will be the third year in a row doing the super informal turkey trot in Skaneateles NY where my wife is from. No chips, numbers or registration of any kind. Maybe a couple hundred people meet in front of the Sherwood Inn at 9:00 and run a just under 3 mile course that is all up hill for the first mile. They do note the times of the top finishers every year. Lots of people head into the Inn after for bloodies or mimosas. Cool tradition.
Breaking the tradition this year of running a 4.4 mile Turkey Trot and always having numb toes because it is usually snowing on Lake Ontario. This year I am in sunny CA and will be running a 5K, hopefully in shorts and a t-shirt with not a thought of snow!!
Forward Motion Race Club here in NorCal has a Thursday morning run. My wife is gonna run and I am going to putter down the trail a bit with my 7 year old son. Maybe a mile and then head to Peet's coffee and meet up with FMRC folks. Nice relaxing morning.
Matt....we will be in Yorkville, IL for Thanksgiving. My daughter and I are looking for a fun little run to do. I was going to look tonight. We will be in Chicago on Friday for the annual insanity then she and I are taking the Megabus home because she has tryouts on Saturday for the Minnesota Junior Elite Triathlete team. Should be fun.....riding the Megabus.....I have heard the weather might not cooperate.....
Skipping the Turkey Trot in Dallas after 8 consecutive years. Early Turkey day run on my own then playground time with the kids and then TURKEY and other goodies. I guess Ill do the challenge I posted too.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!
Yep, I'm doing a run tomorrow too... a 10k around a local lake. The best part about it is that i"m doing it with a few other ENers.... I can't wait!
Dunno. Probably an easy ride with some friends, dinner at the International House of Haroon, former client, good friend of mine. Spaniards (Basque), Pakistani, Italians, Chinese and me, the lone honky. Joanne doesn't have to work so this is only about our 2nd T-day together, ever.
Friday and Saturday I'm doing a large, organized dirtbike ride from outside LA to Barstow, then finishing in Vegas, about 500 dirt miles
Tonight starts the Triple Threat. Full Turkey Dinner at one of my best friend's house.
Tday - Ride outside in the AM. Maybe solo, maybe with my GFF (get fast friend), he hasn't commited yet.
Fri - Travel to wife's family in NY. 14 nieces and nephews. The kids love it.
Sat - Full Tday dinner with wife's family.
3 full Tday dinners in 4 days.
Have fun and be safe all.

Will be running the Atlanta half marathon tomorrow morning. It was tradition in the past but got hijacked the last couple years to rent a mountain cabin with friends for the long weekend. That was a much fun but definitely not good for my liver or waistline. I'm putting running the half back on the Thanksgiving tradition list for good
.
This year we are staying home and racing in a local 5 miler. I'm sure it will be a great race, but definitely will miss the post race refreshments.
