Diesel Days

Today was the first day back at work for a week. I felt so much better being there, as in I was hardly coughing :) NOT because I love my job... haha!
I decided cycling was the best way to ease myself back into exercise, and cycling to and from work today didn't irritate my throat. So good start.

Do you know when you're cycling behind big trucks, or a taxi and a mass of thick black smoke shoots out of the exhaust pipe into your face at each junction? Today was one of those days. Normally I don't notice it much... I don't even smell it most of the time, but today it was chokingly horrid. I wanted to cycle on a different route just to avoid being smoked off the road. I have one of those masks, but it's pretty slim, and I think it might be better at keeping me warm than keeping anything out. Didn't help that I wasn't wearing it today!

Alright... feeling better, hope I'm fully better by the end of the week :)
