Oh, sure, you could sit around on Thanksgiving and watch bad football and overeat. That's what's expected of you. But why not exceed expectations? This turkey day, instead of being a gluttonous slob, try Gig Harbor's Turkey Trot - a 5K or 10K run or walk designed for the whole family. Kicking off at 8 a.m., giving you a chance to actually work up an appetite for the turkey and stuffing that awaits, the Turkey Trot will fill Gig Harbor's downtown waterfront with athletic show-off types, all to the benefit of F.I.S.H. Food Banks, the local Gig Harbor food bank and college scholarships.
PREDICTION: When you sneak spoonfuls of Cool-Whip before the pumpkin pie is even out of the oven you can say you earned it.
