Tuesday, July 9th - Travel Day

good morning...up early...slept very well. I have decided to change my sleep schedule and go to bed earlier. I am also tracking my sleep every night with a new app for my iWatch...very informative as it tracks all the sleep patterns. Last night was a 7 1/2 hour of sleep...with a 82% "quality" rating with 5 REM cycles for 22% REM sleep...pretty good.
Rowed, situps, pushups, stretching and morning meditation...now work all morning. Scheduled for CrossFit at lunch today. Still sore from yesterday's workout so will take it 75% today. Travel today to Herndon VA for work...2 days of work related training tomorrow and Thursday. This will test my new travel workout schedule so I will report on that when I return.
