The name says it all – Speaking for my self, still feeling a little sore from the GN I was not looking forward to pushing through a Murph. That said some workouts you simply have to get started – focusing on something or someone else and simply give it all you got!
Pax of 4 initiated our 1st mile around the park – keeping together with 2 Utes having us around an 8:10 pace. Now at the “place” the fun begins – 100 pull ups, 200 push ups and 300 squats.
All of us decided to break it up: 5 – 10 -15 pushing each other through the effort (offering spots on pull ups to ensure quality form). Note to Abacus – “duck” – I think it actually happened twice where being oxygen deprived or maybe fogged up glasses from effort he walked into one of the lower crossbars – but none the less pushed through.
In the midst of all this effort – Amnesty had jumped in the fray and joined the misery!
Now complete of our # all that was left – 1 more mile! Amnesty suggested we take advantage of the track rather than the loop around the park, all agreed and went to work.
Job well done guys…..Murph complete!- Count Off, Name, Intentions and Prayer of thanksgiving.
Each time I do this workout I can’t help but think of some of my brother Marines as well as others who’ve served in ALL branches honorably – giving that ultimate sacrifice. This is what drives my motivation to push through the small amount of discomfort, yes pain at times but then again I give thanks to God for my health and the fact that I get to go home at night safely to a loving family……while those I push through for are hopefully in place I can only aspire to reach! God Bless!
