When I saw that Hawgcycle put the Murph on the schedule, it was a good time to man up that week! After reading numerous articles about Murph workout on the web, there is a love / hate relationship with that workout over the years. Mostly HATE!!! With two (2) Murphs under my belt, I can attest that this workout is never going to be easy, but I hope that I can get stronger through it.
As I drove up to the AO at 5:28 am, there were no vehicles and I didn’t see anyone as I approached the virtual flag. Wait, I see another HIM in the Gloom and it is Hand Grenada! We debated on what to do and if we should wait but time was running out so we both proceeded to run around Pontiff for our 1-mile run and then to the playground for the pull-ups, pushups, and air squats. With temperatures and humidity high, we were sweating profusely as the workout progressed and finished with the final mile run…walk. We did it all in less than an hour. Woohoo!
Meanwhile, I was honored to get to know Hand Grenada’s story and what occupies his time. His M will be having a 2.1 in August! Thank for pushing me and holding me accountable!
