Well if you know me well enough you know that I can sometimes get emotional at CoT. This morning was no different. When I think of the reason of the holiday I can’t help but to get choked up. I only hope that I can be the kind of person that lives up to the heroism of those who have lost their lives for our freedom. This morning was an excellent chance to try, to be a better version of ourselves. We all showed up for that purpose. 9 strong and amazing PAX showed up for the Murph Challenge.
The Murph was named after Lt Michael Murphy, a Navy Seal who gave his life for his men. A true Hero. We did a modified version of the workout he did daily.
1/2 mile run
20 OHP, 40 Merkins or Chest Press (Pax choice), 60 Squats X 5 rounds
1/4 mile run after the first 4 rounds
1/2 mile run
His actual workout was 1 mile run, 100 pull ups, 200 pushups, 300 squats, 1 mile run. While wearing a weighted vest. It was said he could do it about 30 minutes.
We pushed each other hard and finished it together. #bettertogether
