Tuesday is the last day of our Rise and Run May challenge!! 
There is something so magical and sacred about sunrise 🌅 runs…..unfortunately I didn’t get much sun in Oregon this month 🤦🏼‍♀️😭🤣so I really treasured the sunrises I did get!!

I’m curious how our Rise and Run challenge has had an impact on everyone’s morning and day. 
After a few days in did it feel like a habit was forming? 
Did you find yourself going to bed a bit earlier?
Also, by rising and getting outside in nature did it improve your sleep? Mood? Energy? Stress levels?

For me it’s not been hard to wake up early but it’s definitely challenging to just get out the door quickly without feeling like I need to check emails or do household chores. ✨Trick I use to get going is to set coffee maker night before and lay out clothes so I wake up to smell of coffee ☕️ brewing and I don’t have to decide what I’m wearing 👌🏼

Once I get out and going it truly is such a magical time to soak in the quiet, the sunshine, drink up the incredible spring smells and just be. 

Running doesn’t solve all my problems or worries but it sure does help💚.
Getting outside first thing in the morning for a run or walk sets your circadian rhythm, can boost your mood and improve your sleep (which is such a huge recovery tool for life!).

Check out some of the key biomarkers I monitor with insidetracker to make sure I’m optimizing my sleep! Did you know that optimizing Vitamin D and Magnesium can improve your sleep?
In the past my Vitamin D has been low so I’m constantly working on keeping it up!
