Will you be in town for Thanksgiving, November 23rd? Have you ever thought about maybe getting in a little holiday family fitness before you stuff your face with that yummy turkey goodness and sides? Well this year you should think about signing up for the TXU Energy BakerRipley Turkey Trot in Houston! I have run this race a couple of times and it is a great way to get a little fitness in before the big eating day! This is now going to be my motivation for getting back on the treadmill before the holiday season starts so that I can run it with my family.
Now I know what you are thinking. I already have so much to do Thanksgiving morning! Hey that bird can wait just a little longer to get in the oven. There are several race options for the Thanksgiving Day race including 10K (timed and untimed), 5K (timed and untimed), and Kids 1K.
