Morning Hurdles

I scrambled out from the warm scarf fold and immediately started shaking out my legs! Morning air felt fresh, and my joints were ready to move. Glancing down the baseboard, I saw a neat row of stray objects waiting like a custom track: a wooden pencil, a pink rubber eraser, and a tall metal binder clip. Challenge accepted! I sprinted along the wood grain, vaulted cleanly over the pencil with a crisp hop, planted both hands on the eraser for a fast vault, and ducked right under the raised steel loop of the clip. Perfect run to kick off the day!
