Are you a douche if you work out on Thanksgiving?

I have a couple times worked out on a major holiday but as I got older I have realized just to relax and enjoy yourself. Watch football and eat like Artie Lang at an all you can eat buffet. And the next day double up on your workout.

    I'm running 10 miles because I am on a training plan for a half marathon. I enjoy running, I don't feel like i should cut it out just because it's not politically correct to work out on Thanksgiving.

    It certainly wouldn't hurt a lot of people I know to hit the pavement beforehand, just sayin'.

    What about it is douchey? If your gym is open on Thanksgiving, they employees are there working whether or not you work out.

    If you post that you are working out on facebook to shame those that aren't working out, then you're a douche. If you just go work out, then no.

    I'm doing a 10k run that morning, a "turkey trot", and I might 'check-in' on facebook, so, I'm a douche too.

    I'd work out on Christmas if the gym/swimming pool was open later that night.

    Not sure how working out on certain days could qualify one as a douche!!

    Only a douche in the eyes of someone who doesnt workout any other day either.

    Thursday is a lifting day, so I'll be working out on Thanksgiving. No one else in the family will even be awake, so my actions won't impact them in any way shape or form anyway.

    Wednesday is a running day, so I'll also be running on Christmas day. 5.5 mile interval run if memory serves. Same rationale.

    And no, I don't see why it would make anyone a douche.
