Cross Your Ts and Trot Your Thighs
You know you'll yipyap about how much you eat on Thanksgiving. We all do; it's as part of the day as, well, in my family, creamed onions and Pepperidge Farm stuffing.
So offset that caloric castle by running the Turkey Trot Thursday morning. Revel in the cameraderie! The cheering crowds! The knowledge you've worked off at least part of your meal by the time you sit down to eat it! The satisfaction that comes not only with exercising, but also that you're benefitting worthy causes; namely, YMCA programs!
The 8-mile race begins at City Hall at 9 a.m.; the 3-mile walk/fun run starts 15 minutes later. Get there early to stretch and to jockey for starting-line positions.
You have till Wednesday to register at one of the Luke's Locker stores around the area (find the closest to you at www.lukeslocker.com). After that, you can line up with the latecomers on Thursday morning. Cost right now is $20; it'll go up to $25 on Thanksgiving Day. Want to take Buster or Fido? It'll set you back an extra $10.

I go to the gym regularly. When I hear grunters I just laugh out loud. I can't help it. If you grunt, you have to expect some kind of reaction. And if they're that focused on their exercise they won't hear me laugh.
