I slept in. My goal of being on the hiking trail in Boulder by 6:30 AM was simply blown out of the water when I left my phone/alarm downstairs and unplugged overnight. The tiredness and residual cough I have, put me into a deep sleep... Neither cat, nor body clock could render me conscious at 5:30 am and it was a struggle at 6:15 too.
New plan.
I'm nothing if not resourceful and decided that Longmont -> Niwot along the bike path, would be a fine substitute. Stopping at the Garden Cafe for breakfast at Niwot, then the post office, then walking home... another 5 miles.
I packed my backpack a bit heavier to compensate for the flatter, easier trail and headed out at 8:30 AM.
The trail meandered along the river before becoming dustier and quite a bit more exposed to the sun. Another hot day was on the horizon.
I'm writing this post from the cafe. A "border scramble" is being shoveled into my mouth. Sloshed down with coffee. Lots of coffee!
Since I won't be this chipper when I get home, better to blog now!
