Every year for Thanksgiving I run the Turkey Trot 8k that takes place right in my area of Charlotte. I created this tradition for myself about 3 years ago. This is one race I look forward to doing all year long. Running is one of my favorite things to keep me healthy, especially since when I go for a long run it completely clears my head from all that I have going on in the world. Combining racing and my favorite holiday is a given.
Mom also made Thanksgiving "healthy" this year. I have been a member of Tone It Up for a while now and this year they released a lot of guides and recipes to make the holidays healthy. We tried some of the recipes and they were fantastic. Some of the swaps we made this year included having pumpkin spice protein donut holes for breakfast, lots of yummy green side dishes instead of the typical carbs and empty calories, but we couldn't swap out the turkey!
What are some of the traditions you have that make your holidays healthier?
