The "MURPH" Challenge Complete the following for time of: 1 mile run 100 pull-ups 200 push-ups 300 squats 1 mile run Partition the pull-ups, push-ups, and squats as needed. Start and finish with a mile run. If you've got a 20 lb. vest or body armor, wear it. In memory of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, N.Y., who was killed in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005. This workout was one of Mike's favorites and he'd named it "Body Armor". From here on it will be referred to as "Murph" in honor of the focused warrior and great American who wanted nothing more in life than to serve this great country and the beautiful people who make it what it is. REMINDER: We will be hosting The Murph Challenge at 9am. Feel free to arrive early to start warming-up. All other classes are canceled. We will be closed Sunday and Monday in observance of Memorial Day.

Always an Honor to perform MURPH. RIP Murph!
Would like to thank Murph and his family for their sacrifices and service.
Would like to thank all those service members that lost their life while serving in active duty and their family members.

51:10 Rx with 24lb vest, did it solo (no music!) at CF Moontown after their normal class time. Also got to watch my oldest son Matthew tackle it (no vest) in about 50min.
Sorry I missed you all this morning! After finishing up Personal Fitness merit badge with a batch of Scouts this morning, my middle son tried to leap a low brick wall around 8am. He didn't quite make, and required a visit to the local medical clinic for a half-dozen stitches...home now and just fine. Boys!
Still time to register for the Cotton Row 10k or 5k run on Monday. Register at the VBC on Sunday 1-6.
RIP to Murph and to all who gave their lives in defense our Nation.
