Last Monday on Memorial Day I went up against my "White Whale". A workout that I was almost certain was out of my reach until a couple of month's ago. I committed myself to a better Paleo style diet and got my training into a good groove. It was the toughest physical and mental test I believe I have ever experienced. After 58:14 I had finished. Special thanks to the other competitors, coaches, and my girlfriend for supporting through the event.
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.
Partition the pull-ups, push-ups, and squats as needed. Start and finish with a mile run. If you've got a twenty pound vest or body armor, wear it.
