Remembering the fallen
All Harrisburg BackblastsMay 27th, 2019
16 men completed a workout together to remember the fallen on this Memorial Day. We do the Murph on the last Monday of every month to remember guys like Lt Michael Murphy and Christopher R Barton (info here) that gave the ultimate sacrifice serving our great nation.
We must be in the top 1% of the lucky men in this world. Living in the most prosperous country, a faster-than-average growth portion of our great country, and are healthy and physically able to do a workout like the Murph, even if it is modified. Clean water, plenty of food, air conditioning, hot water, our own transportation … what else could we ask for? Good friends and a relationship with our Creator are the only additional things I could even think of. F3 helps with those as well.
We’re definitely lucky and we’re proud to be a part of this great nation. Today we remember that our freedoms weren’t free. Thank God for all those that gave their lives protecting us.
The workout is simple to write, but hard to accomplish. It goes like this:
- Run 1 mile
- 100 pull-ups
- 200 push-ups
- 300 squats
- Run 1 mile back to base

Thanks for coming out this morning guys. Glad to have a large group for a Memorial Day Murph.
T-claps to @Kilowatt for doing the Murph with a Ruck on his back the whole time. #strong. Good luck on your HTL this weekend.
Great meeting SheepDog’s 2.0s Brandon and Josh. They are both competitors, which is awesome.
T-claps to @SSMinnow for the pre-run and post-run. He’s still getting faster. Nice work, an inspiration to the rest of us for sure.
Glad @Tumbler came back out with 3 of his 2.0s. He pretty much has an entire Kickball team within his family.
Kickball and Wiffle ball were a great time! Thanks @DickTracy for coordinating that and bringing all the supplies as well as music.
