Labor Day is a day to Labor right?  I suggested to SA a few weeks ago that we should do a Murph and he agreed – surprisingly we were able to convince at least 17 HIMs to post on what was designated to be a day off.

 

It was my sincere pleasure to Q this workout.  For those who do not know the Murph – named after Lieutenant Michael P. Murphy – Navy Seal who lost his life in combat in Afghanistan in 2005.  He was killed when his squad took heavy fire and Murphy left his covered position to get a radio signal out to call for reinforcements.  In doing so he was killed in battle however he was able to get the call off and his squad was rescued.  Murphy received the Metal of Honor and has had a Naval destroyer named after him.

 

His favorite workout “the Murph”  involved running one mile, 100 pull ups, 200 pushups and 300 squats followed by another mile run – all while wearing a 20lb weighted vest.

I hope that in doing this workout we can all gain a little more appreciation for the men and women who serve this country daily.
