Shoelace Slalom

Staying cooped up inside is fun for a warm-up, but my sneakers were itching for a real dash! I zoomed down the long hallway straight toward the front door, aiming for the big world outside. But right before the exit mat, a massive pair of sneakers was dumped across the corridor with long white laces trailing like tripwires! Slow down? No way! I leaned low into a sharp skid, vaulted cleanly over the thick tongue of the left shoe, and threaded right through the curled lace loops. Touchdown on the doormat! A whole new obstacle course cleared in record time!
