The second annual Turkey Trot L.A. won’t soothe your guilt at eating all that Thanksgiving food. It’s a chance to be grateful for your health and work up an appetite over 5k and 10k courses through downtown’s streets. For kids, there’s a 1k run, which can be an unfathomable distance when you’re young. It’s all over by noon, at which point you can get dinner ready and watch My Life as a Turkey, a beautiful documentary on KCET about a guy who raised 16 wild turkeys. It won an Emmy. You will cry. In a good way.
