Are you a douche if you work out on Thanksgiving?

I'll be doubling my normal workout on Thanksgiving/Christmas to account for things I won't be able to log accurately (food other people make) and even more so on New Years to account for the drinks I'm too drunk to remember having. If that makes me a douche, I don't even care.0

I'm doing a 10k run that morning, a "turkey trot", and I might 'check-in' on facebook, so, I'm a douche too.
^^^ Me too0 -
I'm hoping that working out on Thanksgiving will help me to keep focused once the food is in front of my fat face. :happy:0

Running on Thursday morning, before I go shopping-so no, not a douche for working out, yes a douche for shopping and making people work on Thanksgiving. In my defense the store I'm going to is normally open 24 hours a day and it's business as usual for them (that's my justification and I'm sticking to it!).0

I'm running a local Turkey Trot in my inlaw's hometown. It's a charity race so that part isn't douchey. And I'll be home well in time to help with all the cooking and cleaning so that's not douchey. But I will, probably, feel a little self-righteous so maybe just a little douchey.0

My Thanksgiving is tomorrow because my husband has duty on Thursday. I plan to run early in the morning before anyone else is up. As for actual Thanksgiving I'll be alone, and I'll be lifting in my spare room. If Christmas falls on a workout day I'll workout on Christmas as well.
I could see an issue if you cut out in the middle of dinner to go workout. Otherwise I don't know why it would make a difference.0 -
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.

Your turkey trot is twice as long as mine...(although I learned earlier today that there are over 4000 runners in it).
Unrelated fun fact: My actual turkey we're cooking that day for our family of six is 26 pounds.0 -

Ooooh, my workouts post to Facebook. I guess I am a douche!0 -
I originally planned on going to the gym, but my in-laws wanted to come over and eat early so they can get home at a decent time, so I won't be able to make it there. I might go for a quick morning jog though if I can fit it in with all the preparation. Maybe I'll take one of the dogs with me and leave hubby to clean up the house for a change haha0

Thursday is "walk" and pilates day. My gym will be closed. I'll do the hour walk first thing though.
Thanksgiving is no different than any other day as far as I'm concerned.0 -
No not at all.0
