Time to find new focus

So here it is 4:00 am. I'm at work in a hospital wing sitting in a hospital chair. My client was hospitalized Saturday so I'm doing a few shifts here. This is my third night of this my eyes are heavy and the chair is uncomfortable and my client is sound asleep. The good news is I am supposed to do this again on Thursday, but I asked for the day off to go spend some quality time in Santa Barbara with family. I was asked to be back on Friday and go back to my regular 48 hour shifts after my client returns to her residence. I suppose I should be thankful that my small sacrifice is rewarded with a blessing in disguise.

I began Marathon training last week and I'm going to complete a marathon in February. I have a 4 mile run scheduled later today and all I can focus on is the fact that my body needs some rest in order to train and recover adequately. I planned on reading and journalling in my marathon training book but I've been reading a fiction novel instead.

I'm really enjoying running with a new focus again and having a great time running with new and old friends.
