Why Not Trot?!

Hey fam! Dana here, and I am proposing....The First Ever Foster Fam Turkey Trot! Picture it: a crisp Thanksgiving morning, the Mick in his running shorts, the whole fam getting limbered up for a little walk/jog. There are turkey trots happening everywhere, so why not start one with our own fam? We've got the numbers and the able bodies. Now the question is do we have the desire?

I am thinking that since we will all have other responsibilities that morning, like getting our good grub ready, that we do it somewhat early and don't go for very long. I don't know what that would mean exactly. A full 5k or just a run through the neighborhood? I just thought I would throw this out there first and then plan it if there is interest. This could mean whatever you want it to mean for you. You could be among the front-runners, going for the coveted 1st place "trophy" (and by trophy I mean the kind that you picture in your head) or just out for a shorter version of the race with a baby in tow or hang out at home and cheer as the runners and walkers come back through the door. I think it would be fun to all get out there and do something active like that together before we go and gorge ourselves on the good grub previously mentioned. Let your voices be heard!

*Please don't feel badly telling me if you think this is a bad idea. I just read it on a friend's blog and thought, "Hey, that could be really fun with the Fosters." That's about all of the thought that's gone into it. Just tell me that you think it's a bad idea in a nice way since I have been known to be a little more emotional as of late. Last night I was explaining the meaning of a country song to Ty and broke down in tears. :)*

Lets do it. Joy and I will be on a team. I say there is a cash prize for the winner. You know, nothing big, like 100-150 dollars for something. Just throwing it out there.
