Murphalicious

We did Murph on Friday, it was the beast it always was. This workout was a favorite of Navy Lt. Michael Murphy:

For time:
1 mile Run
100 Pull-ups
200 Push-ups
300 Squats
1 mile Run

Partition the pull-ups, push-ups, and squats as needed. Start and finish with a mile run.

It was surprising in that my time was about four minutes more than the last time I did murph, 69:51. What really killed me was the last mile run. My pecs and shoulder muscles were so exhausted that the actual movement of running hurt my shoulders. Sooooo frustrating, I wasn't breathing hard, my legs weren't sore, I just couldn't run because of my... arms?

Had quite the compliment during this workout. After the first run La Saun randomly came up to me, introduced herself, and said she knew me from the old blue room, and I've drastically improved since she last saw me. It always feels good to hear such positive feedback, especially since it was unpromted.
