I really look forward to this time of year. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. At this time on Thursday I'll be with my family up in Fairfax, Virginia waiting to gorge myself with too much food and washing it down with as much pie as I can stand. A bit gluttenous, but oh well.
One thing I'm really happy to have on Thanksgiving is my family's tradition to participate in a 5k 'Turkey Trot' on Thanksgiving morning. The whole family gets out there and runs for 3.2 miles to get a good work out in before the rest of the calorie infested activities of the day begins.
I invite all of you to find your version of my 'Turkey Trot' on Thursday morning. Whether it's a special Thanksgiving home Crossfit style workout, a local race, a bike ride or something else active that everyone in the family would enjoy. The last few years for Christmas, we've sat down as a family and designed workouts for us to participate in (including cousins, aunt's, uncles, etc). It's been a great way for us to bond that doesn't expand our waistlines. I never thought I'd see the day when Uncle Tom from Buffalo would be doing burpees!

I like a brisk (yes, people can't always keep up) walk around the lake after dinner, too!
