You guys. This year I'm doing the Trot double. Running a Saturday trot in a neighboring town (it's called a "Turkey Trot," but I'm not even really sure if it counts if it's not on Thanksgiving), and going to run The Trot on Thanksgiving. If I can pull of decent performances, or get lucky in the raffles, I can take home a pumpkin pie on Saturday and a turkey on Thursday. Has anyone done this type of Trot format before?
After watching last year's video of the Rumble in Rensselaer I've tried to prepare for anything. Hope for the best. Expect the worst.

You gonna carefully monitor and chart your pumpkin pie intake Saturday afternoon through Wednesday?

Is ANYONE running the turkey trot this year?

Typical letsrun. All talk, no action.

Just picked up my six gels and a new camelbak for Turkey Trot 5K. My Adidas Adizero Adios Pro Evo 1 just got delivered and I am ready to beat my 34 minute 5K PR!

A dude steps out to shop for a fannypack and a camelbak, and you can’t cut him some slack. In.

Which events are people doing? The 3k, the 5k or the 10k? I decided to step it up this year & run the 10k!

5k here.

Glad to see that there are at least a few actual runners left on letsrun. So many posters here are just bitter failed ex-runners who just come here to bash those of us who actually run.

re: Turkey Trotter 4 Life

my son asked me to pace him to a PR. pretty exciting, honestly. never pushed running on him... didn't want him to feel the pressure from me on it. he's taken it up naturally and is enjoying his own progression through XC and track. he asked to do the turkey trot and wants to shoot for a time. really looking forward to running with him.

All joking aside, this is outstanding. The very best of the turkey trot.

I'm actually jealous of all the Turkey Trotters. If I went to a Turkey Trot, I'd be all by myself. I think it's cool people get together before Thanksgiving dinner and get a group race/run in.

re: GotTheTrots

Got a local 5 miler. Warmup is the run from my house to the start line. Cooldown is the run from the finish line to my house. Cooking by 9

5K for me. Forecast temp is 40 F for the 9 AM start. Dinner tonight is a cup of lettuce with one-third of a can of tuna. I will stuff my face uncontrollably after I return home tomorrow.

My post-race refueling will be substantial. Very substantial. To begin immediately upon crossing the finish line. There will be no cooldown.

re: DanM

Hey all you hobby joggers, thanks for participating in this year's turkey trot thread. Hope you trotted a great time and refueled to excess afterward.

To all of you who didn't have the turkey giblets to run this year, you have a full year to train for next year!

Gobble gobble, and I'll see you again next year, one week till the turkey trot!
