Lt. Michael Murphy made the ultimate sacrifice for his team when he stepped into harms way so that he could call in support.  Today we honor all those heroes that, like Murphy, sacrificed it all for our freedoms.  On Memorial Day and out of respect for those heroes we normally attempt the Murph.  1 mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 squats, and 1 mile run.  Today we tried something a little different – the Partner Murph.  What happened next went something like this:

Warmup:

• SSH
• IW
• Happy Appy
• Moroccan Night Club
• Grandpa Jack
• Penny Picker
• Mosey around top soccer field ending by the playground

Tha Thang:

• Partner up (make sure an “old guy” gets each of the FNGs)
• This will be different from any other F3 workout.  Normally we never stop working.  Today is different.  Only one partner works at a time and the team is working towards the rep total – one partner at a time.  The purpose of this workout is to slow down and focus on form, allowing your partner to help and critique you.  We win together.
• Rnd 1 = 50 PU, 100 Merk, 150 Squat
• Rnd 2 = 30 PU, 60 Merk, 90 Squat
• Rnd 3 = 20 PU, 40 Merk, 60 Squat
• Running around (as a team) the upper soccer field between each Rnd.
• Indian Run back to the flag.

NMM:

• Remember all the heroes that paved the way for our freedom.
• Continue to remember Gopher
• As always an honor to lead
• TS out
