Bunch of five

Five people who overtook me when I was running* the Hydroactive 5k in Hyde Park yesterday:

1. A Doberman wearing an NSPCC t-shirt and matching green bow tie
2. Three middle aged women in pink tutus and stripper shoes pushing a baby incubator on wheels
3. A couple doing the Charleston
4. Three people dressed like pieces of Monster Munch
5. A woman on crutches with her entire leg in plaster

* Well, I say running, it was more of a quick paced jog**
** enthusiastic bit of speed walking***
*** hearty stride****
**** saunter

What flavor of Monster Munch?

But did you finish? That's the most important thing... not how many cripples run past you on crutches...

(were you crawling? ;-) )

Beef. Obviously.

I did finish, and I have a medal, a packet of Kettle Chips, some cherry flavoured Fisherman's Friend, a fair trade chocolate bar, a sachet of wrinkle cream, a packet of pink Wet Wipes and various other bizarre things they put in the goodie bags at the end to prove it.

I really would have backed you to be the one in the tutu.

that's nine people, not five. plus the dog.

I was dismayed til I read your asterisks.

So what were you wearing for your gentle perambulation?

A t-shirt with the name of the place I work across it and a peevish expression.

well done though :)

WHERE'S THE ABSINTH?
