Yes, I think a gradual return to fitness, for cycling or whatever you feel like doing, would be best to avoid more injuries and make things more enjoyable at the same time. Just a short bike ride, or even a walk around the block, and build from there.

But first -- how long will the crazy work schedule last? Is there an end in sight? Stress can really suck the energy out of you, mentally and physically.

FWIW I've had more problems with pollen this year than I have in the past. The weatherman wasn't kidding when he said the mild winter would mean more pollen than usual.
