Yep, we’ve been doing this sucker for FIFTEEN YEARS. And when I say “we,” I mean the wonder turkey trot team. I’m waiting for that picture and will come back and post it as soon as I get it…these guys and my sister in law who wrangles them all together really do rock. It’s always…

The 2018 Turkey Trot is right around the corner. Which means that not only are we deep in wedding planning over here, but we are deep into Turkey Trot details. Dave has the reins on organizing again this year, and that is no small feat I tell you! The Turkey Trot “dream team” (as I…
