June 28th, 2021 By Powerball

Seven men chose to open the final week of June (already??) with the monthly Highlands installment of the Murph, which is named in memory of Navy Seal Lt. Michael Patrick Murphy, who was killed in Afghanistan on June 28, 2005. In total, 11 Navy Seals and eight US Army Knight Stalkers were lost during Operation Red Wings 16 years ago today, in which we honored their service:

Shovel flag was planted by YHC.

A brief WARMARAMA to get the blood flowing: Side-Straddle Hops, Imperial Storm Troopers, and Weed Pickers.

MURPH:

• Run one mile, returning to the HCSC playground
• 10 Pull Ups
• 20 Merkins
• 30 Air Squats
• Repeat exercises ten times
• Run one mile, returning to the HCSC parking lot

Circle back to the pick up the 6.

COT and PRAYER

MOLESKIN

• Great work today, gentlemen.
• Huge s/o to @Gumby for completing the legit Murph with a weight vest.
• @Luigi and @FishSticks ventured from Skywalker looking for Mettle, but were handed the Murph instead. T-Claps!
• Prayers of gratitude for those who defend our freedoms and for those families who have lost loved ones.  We remember their family, friends, and teammates and honor them with resilience and resolve.  We read the 19 names of the fallen from Operation Red Wings.
