One month ago, we launched CHStoday with a party at Edmund’s Oast Brewing Co. + our very first CHStoday newsletter.

With 31,000+ of you spending each day with us– whether it’s right here, on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, we’re feeling the love. 💓

In case you’re new here (welcome 👋) or need to bookmark some reading for the weekend, we’re revisiting our top 5 stories of our first month.

  2. Running trails to get you Bridge Run ready– The Cooper River Bridge Run is 23 days away. These trials are the pathway to getting into running shape. 🏃
