Four PAX chose to open the week with the first 2021 Highlands installment of the Murph, which honors the memory of Navy Seal Lt. Michael Patrick Murphy, who was killed in Afghanistan on June 28, 2005.  We were greeted with a balmy and unexpected 45 degrees.  While four opted for @Poutine’s Hank Aaron-themed Mettle (separate backblast), @Illuminati, @Luigi, and @Shazam joined 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

Consideration to join the Mettle crew for MARY.

COT and PRAYER, led by @Poutine.

MOLESKIN

• Great work today, gentlemen.  S/o to @Luigi for making the trip over Eastfield for his first Highlands Murph.
• Personal s/o to @Illuminati for the push on both miles.
• Prayers included, but not limited to: the specific voiced prayer requests of families who have recently lost a loved one; those struggling with mental health.
