i forgot to write about one of my favorite thanksgiving traditions yesterday!
for the past three years, my mom and i (with aunts + uncles + my sister and her boyfriend) have done the turkey trot in my hometown on thanksgiving morning!
there is a 2 mile walk and a 5 mile run option, and this year we did the 2 mile walk with jake and capone!
attempt #1 at a family photo
it’s always a fun event because it’s gotten pretty popular, so you can’t help but run into people you haven’t seen in a long time.
attempt #2 at a family photo
i saw my high school gym teacher/adventure club advisor, lots of my and brad’s classmates and their parents, and so many adorable dogs and puppies that i wanted to steal!
attempt #3 at a family photo – we gave up after this one
overall, though, i just really enjoy starting my day of eating with at least a little bit of activity! i know my 2 mile walk doesn’t really counter-act many of the calories i consumed, but it at least starts the day on a good note!
the turkey trot is such a fun tradition that i hope my mom and i continue for many years!
have you ever done a turkey trot?
what’s your favorite thanksgiving tradition?
p.s. see last year’s post about the turkey trot. jake was such a little baby puppy last year!
