Bryan Roberson, owner of Breakaway Running, always runs his age in miles for his birthday. This year, he turned 32 but had been wanting to run a route along the Wolf River trail. With some of his good friends, he ended up running to the Mississippi River, totaling 40 miles. “I never thought I would have four other people run the whole thing with me,” he says.

CREATE A BEDTIME ROUTINE FOR YOUR BEST SLEEP
1. Be consistent about what time you go to sleep and wake up. Sleep training isn’t just for kids! Keeping your body on a schedule makes it easier to fall asleep and wake up.
2. Relax. Unwinding before bed will help relax your body and mind as you prepare for sleep. Try yoga, stretching, breath work, or meditation.
3. Limit your screen time. Blue light from your television, tablet, computer, and smartphone tricks your brain into thinking it’s daytime, which limits melatonin and makes it hard to fall asleep.
4. Embrace warmth. Take a hot bath or enjoy a cup of hot herbal tea to help calm your senses.
5. Write it out. Some people find it helpful to process the day by journaling. Getting it out of your head and onto paper can clear your mind. Go one step further by jotting down a quick to-do list for the next day to unburden your brain.
