The Thang:
Using Oompa Loompa’s path inspiration we worked on a not so world renowned famous modified Classic PT Challenge using the signage as 1/4 mile markers.  As Short Sale correctly pointed out, the starting point could have been at the beginning of the path given we ran a 1/4 mile to get there, just to start.  While on a mosey to the 2nd sign we stopped for some ab focused Dora.  Linus could use some help on counting.  3/4 mile out started mosey back with about 8 minutes to go, back to the start, all safe.

Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for honoring and mourning the U.S. military personnel who have died while serving in the United States armed forces.  It is observed on the last Monday of May.  Memorial Day is also considered the unofficial beginning of summer in the United States.

The first national observance of Memorial Day occurred on May 30, 1868.  Then known as Decoration Day, the holiday was proclaimed by Commander in Chief John A. Logan of the Grand Army of the Republic to honor the Union soldiers who had died in the Civil War.

In 1971, Congress standardized the holiday as “Memorial Day” and changed its observance to the last Monday in May.

Two other days celebrate those who have served or are serving in the U.S. military: Armed Forces Day (which is earlier in May), an unofficial U.S. holiday for honoring those currently serving in the armed forces, and Veterans Day (on November 11), which honors all those who have served in the United States Armed Forces.

Lieutenant Michael Murphy was a SEAL team member who lost his life serving his country in Afghanistan in 2005 during Operation Red Wings.

On the morning of June 28th, Lt. Michael Murphy and Petty Officers Danny Dietz, Matthew Axelson, and Marcus Luttrell were dropped into the mountains of Afghanistan, only to be ambushed by more than fifty militiamen after a local accidentally wandered onto their position and gave it up.

The four soldiers were heavily outnumbered, but put up a strong fight. During the ambush, Lt. Murphy risked his own life by coming out from cover, finding a signal, and calling for help.

Murphy, Dietz, and Axelson died that day along with 8 additional SEALS and 8 Army Night Stalker service members when their helicopter was shot down in its pursuit of saving the 4 men.

The Murph workout is done for time and consists of:

• A one-mile run
• 100 pull-ups
• 200 push-ups
• 300 squats
• Another one-mile run

Dr. Joshua Appel, the chief of emergency medicine for the Southern Arizona Veterans Administration Health Care System served as an Air Force pararescueman in 2005.

He was the team leader that helped rescue Marcus Luttrell and recover Michael Murphy and Danny Dietz. He kept the body armor he wore when he recovered Murphy’s body.

Two years later he decided to gather everyone at his CrossFit gym to do the “Murph” on Memorial Day to recognize Michael Murphy and those who have lost their lives in active service.

They continued to do the workout every year until 2010, when Dr. Appel contacted Michael’s father, Dan Murphy and asked if he could start a national fundraiser.

so, imagine for a moment (or just do it, but only with you and a mirror) taking your left hand at a slanting stroke and thrust it towards the outside of your hip.  Repeat the same with your right hand for practice and then take both of those puppies and perform simultaneously, karate chops to the outside of your haunches all while maintaining an ‘that’s right’ persona and go ahead and add that geriatric pelvic thrust.  Say ‘hmmph’ as you do so.  Careful, you don’t want to throw out your back.  That my friends is a remedy for Sandy V, possibly ED, and a host of other ailments and is called ‘Getting the Biotch out of Whoopee’s Britches’.  One would normally say do not try this at home, but arguably this is probably the only place you should try this.  And alone, leave your M out of this one.  Clothes on is optional.  Keep your clothes on.  Say it loud, HEY BIOTCH!
