The Morning Speed Trial
I slipped past the screen door onto the patio and immediately spotted an official superhero obstacle course drawn right across the stone pavers. Someone had used thick yellow and blue chalk to map out twisty lanes, hazard zones, and numbered target pads. Obviously, my morning patrol demanded a full speed trial. I set my boots at the start line, took a deep breath, and sprinted along the winding yellow stripe. Leaning hard into the curves, I swerved around a drawn 'meteor pit' and launched into a flying leap straight onto square number five. My boots stuck the landing with zero skid. Mission accomplished, course record shattered.
