Happy Turkey TROT Day!

Thanksgiving is upon us - time to reflect on all the good tidings we've received throughout the year. Time to recognize people or events that had an impact on us. Time to reflect on ourselves, figuratively AND LITERALLY!

Check yo'self in the mirror (don't you look great?) and make sure you don't lose all the hard work you put in. THANK YOURSELF! by going for a fun run Thanksgiving morning. Here are a few good reasons for you to do so:

1. Nearly every Turkey Trot in the country is a FUN RUN. No race times, no extra extensive training required. These runs cover distances of 10k, 5k, and even 1mile so find one near you and register.

2. Keep your base. You wouldn't want to be the poor loser in Jeopardy who has the -600 score, right? So why start in the negative with your training at 2008.

3. A morning workout will help you keep up your energy levels so you can survive a day of hanging out with the in-laws, playing football outside, and furious cooking.

4. Exercise on Thursday will help you rest better and wake up bright eyed and bushy tailed to hit the shops on Black Friday.

5. Oh yeah, and you'll have burned a few extra calories to squeeze in a slice of pumpkin pie for dessert!

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!
