Murph

On Saturday night, I got a Twitter message from HushPuppy asking if we were doing the Murph so I responded like I thought I should, maybe not like I really wanted at the time…..YES, I WILL BE DOING THE MURPH-WHO IS WITH ME????

I got a quick HC from Roscoe so I knew it was on. Sunday morning rolled around and I showed up with Defib ready to go and ShortSale not far behind. Roscoe was right on time so we got started. I brought my 10th anniversary of work gift from the hospital for entertainment-a sweet semi-water proof bluetooth speaker (probably $10) so I could pump up the George Strait…

Roscoe took off like he was after the Duke boys on a Saturday night in Hazard County and the rest of us tried to keep up. We got to Martha’s and the work started. The other 3 stuck to the plan, but I did Australian pull ups-last month I could not use my arms for about 5 days after the Murhph so I made the executive decision to go with a lighter version this time and make a better effort at doing some pull-ups during the month of August. I played some Van Halen, Eric Church, then settled in with Blues Traveler and got too tired to mess with it after that.

We made good time then moseyed back to start. I did my best to catch up with Defib on the way back to no avail. He did mention he heard footsteps the whole time so at least I know he was pushed a little on the running. I will catch him someday……

I really enjoy the Murph-it has a lot of emotion attached to it and really pushes me. I need to spend more time with the pull-up bar on a regular basis so I don’t have to do the Australian ones-l won’t mind if anyone harasses me a little with this…..except ShortSale, he already has enough ammo for harassing me.

Thanks for the push HushPuppy (and the 3 others that posted), even though you were not there. I expect you there next month, and I will do a better job with the publicity before the August Murph.

Whoopee
