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.

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone!! I am really glad to call you all my friends!!
ReplyDeleteA couple of coach's notes:
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Mel! I love that you celebrated by doing this WOD and being such a great support to the class. Major props girl!
Way to go with a 1/2 Murph with the weight vest Donkey! Sorry about the epic fail chalk bucket!!!
Special note for Tom D. who met Pukie and still finished the WOD. Tom, you were a rock star today, great job!!!
Each and everyone of you pushed hard, many of you beyond what you thought possible. I got a lump in my throat watching both the 9 and 10 AM classes sprint for the door on the final run. What a privilege to coach today!!!!
Nice job Nikki on the Rx! I knew you would do amazing at it - even for the first time doing it.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday again, Mel! I got you 37 post-WOD burpees. I hope you like them.
ReplyDeletehappy birthday, mel! you've been an awesome part of KOP for me!
ReplyDelete@Cindy: I've been laughing at the epic fail with the chalk bucket all day.
To everyone, but most especially the full Murphs...nice one. you done realllll good today.
Happy birthday Mel! You're so much fun to work out with, and I always look forward to hanging out with you before each wod.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ellie! It was actually kinda fun to do with the weight vest -- but MAN I'm sore today! :)
