Sweatshop (£298)

Attacked by a pack of hungry Puma.

(Tarzan had asked for a pair of size 10 PUMA Complete EUTOPIA to cover up his modesty - however we found a size 3 was sufficient)

By the time we reached Sweatshop in Hyde at just after 1pm we had already covered around fifteen miles and passed the highest point of the course at Smith Knight Fay in Gee Cross. We were running a minute late at this point as we had stopped for a loo break at Woodley precinct (both traps were occupied much to the Banana's disappointment) and popped in to say hello at Bowlacre Home where bizarrely Emmerdale was on in the day room.

The Sweatshop team had done us proud with a table laid out at one end of the store with drinks and that well known runners fuel Jam Doughnuts. Des Gibbons, whose lookalike we had seen earlier at the entrance to Stockport Merseyway Centre entertained us with a rap:

"After over three hours on your feet

This Homer food will be a treat

Hey pretty lady, take a seat

Do you shave your legs or do you use Veet?"

You will go to the ball - only PUMA Complete INFINITUS would fit !

We pulled a raffle for three fantastic prizes (if you haven't heard then I am afraid you didn't win), there was much hilarity when East Cheshire Harriers legend Harry Kelly won second prize as he had coached 'Jane' when he/she was in his teens.

The Nelson brothers took a load of great photographs, including the two shown here and we went on our merry way with Leukaemia Research having an extra £298 to spend.

PS I made it up about the rap.
