HUDSON -A tale of overindulgence- Hudson belongs to the Miami Striders running club. He is the slowest runner because he eats too much and has become far too fat. But to impress his girlfriend Gloria, he is desperate to win the next race. He is advised by his friends to eat less and become less of a 'couch potato'. After rigorous training he comes close to giving up, but when another runner makes fun of him Hudson presses on with even more determination. But can he win the big race? Fortunately Hudson has some special friends - the oxpeckers - and they know just how to help him.
