If your family is anything like mine, on Thanksgiving morning, you will get up and do a Turkey Trot. It's a tradition, they say, dragging you from your bed and out to the cold starting line and insufferably cheerful crowd at the local high school. After many, many years, the best advice I can give is to surrender. This is your fate; embrace it. Save your energy for fighting over the wishbone or something. I'm a believer in the whole "gear makes the race" mentality, so if you're not feeling the Turkey Day 5K (or, god help you, half-marathon), just grab the most spirited attire you can find and fake it till you make it. Here are seven options to help, from low-key to extra with a capital "E." Buy tutus for the whole fam, and maybe they'll let you sleep in an extra five minutes. (I mean, it's worth a shot.) 1 Turkey Tutu Image Source: amazon.com This Turkey Tutu ($20) has tail feathers in the back and googly eyes in the front, and honestly, I'm into it.
