MonoMonday Challenge 319 - Essential

The most essential form of transportation since the invention of the wheel - unicycles excluded. :)

Even though this bike hasn't seen the road since last summer, I treated it to a half hour on the trainer stand at lunch.  

Wow, that was so needed after a week homebound with a cold!!  Given all the craziness surrounding the Coronavirus outbreak in Italy, I wanted to make sure I got over the cold as quickly as possible.  No fever, no cough - just a solid head cold.  I usually go through a cycle when I catch a cold, which inevitably starts with the head then moves to the ears and down into the lungs.  Then I am stuck for a month with the crud.  My strategy of isolation and rest paid off.  I was still feeling tired even through yesterday, but the bike ride today was good and no ill effects afterwards. And! -the moody cloud hanging over my head has sailed away!

So, for me, proven time and time, a little exercise is essential to my well-being.
