He recalls that was for his imaginary superhero "Running Man," who simply just loved running. Inspired, Elmo decides to go get a cape of his own and become "Running Elmo." Abby Cadabby shows up and makes Elmo run! Elmo runs past Hooper's Store, while Rosita asks questions about what he's doing. This encourages her to join him, calling herself "Running Rosita." The Count arrives at Hooper's looking for something to count. Alan points out the sandwiches he's prepared and the Count begins counting them. He gets distracted by Running Elmo and Rosita as they make laps through the store. He forgoes counting some sodas, instead opting to become "Running Count." Chris thinks he'll may find a trophy after they're done running. The runners all stop at the Mail It Shop, too tired of running. Now Rosita and Elmo had lost all their energy. The Count leaves.
