Cooper River Bridge Run - April 2025

Image
Cooper River Bridge Run 10K Race On April 5th, I participated in the Cooper River Bridge Run in Charleston SC. It was a 10K race. It had been a couple of years since I ran my last 10K. This year, I did it in a 1 hour and 20 minutes.  I was in Coral G. All total, there was over 36,000 participants. The actual race was fine. Getting to and from the race was a bit of a hassle but then it usually is in these big races. All in all, I felt good about the experience and may do it again sometime in the future.

On my off days, I will be doing treadmill runs (I am training for a 10K) on Sunday and yoga/active recovery workouts on Saturday.

Cathe Lift, Move, & Restore Functional Pilates Fusion

Image
Functional Pilates Fusion clocks in at 33 minutes. Several tools are used throughout the workout.  Cathe starts using the foam roller to help increase flexibility and to add a bit of resistance and expansion to the body. The mini-ball is added to work on coordination and increase intensity through dynamic movement. Cathe uses the fabric-loop band to add resistance during the leg floor series.   DVD Menu Full Series Overview Workout Intro Equipment Needed Play Functional Pilates Fusion Play Lower Body Foam Rolling Bonus Chapters Premixes Audio Settings I liked this workout. I felt I wanted more of the Pilates and less of the fusion. 3 & 1/2 stars
