The Great Deck Sprint

After staying inside all morning, I slipped through the cracked porch door to explore the outside deck! The long wooden planks looked exactly like a championship running track. I decided to test my top running speed. I propped a slender twig across two smooth garden pebbles to mark an official finish line, crouched into a runner’s stance, and dashed forward with all the energy my leg servos could muster! My strides were delightfully swift until I attempted a dramatic victory slide. Whoops—my heel hit a slick dried leaf, sending me skidding straight past the tape and landing safely on a soft outdoor mat. Still, I definitely set a new personal record!
