Working on the screen early in the day
Zoom and Skype and facts
And the bosses and servers push
Filling up with data.
In nursing homes and hospitals
Poorly paid and above all
Early shift, late shift, through the night
Work like the woman does.
Woman of labor, wake up,
And recognize your power!
Care and nursing stand still
If it's your clever head's will!

Did the first 30 min or so in HR zone 2, then got irritated with the pace and decided to go a little faster for the last half hour. That might be the plan going forward. I believe in the expanded fitness levels that zone 2 builds, but it suuuucks!
Dedicating this run to my friend @…, wishing hi…
