In honor of Lt. Michael P. Murphy, a Navy Seal Medal of Honor recipient (posthumous), 11 PAX performed our monthly repeato of his favored workout he called “Body Armor”, referring to the 20 lb. body vest he wore while doing it. While some of us were barely scraping by with the weight of our own body, four PAX showed up with 30+# rucks to make up for the rest of us. Two PAX took it a step further by posting early for a few extra miles. Three PAX had to bogey out at some point before the finish, but it's all good, they'll make it up right?
Warm-o-rama – 1 mile run
The thang – 10 rounds of 10 pull-ups OYO, 10 double count ‘Mericans IC, & 15 double-count air-squats IC for a total of 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups (‘Mericans) and 300 air-squats
Mary – 1 mile run + a round of LBC & low flutters, cause why not.
Moleskin
– Polar Bear this weekend, There is probably some info out there but YHC couldn’t find it after 17 seconds of googling (similar to noodling, but less chance of getting bit by a water moccasin)
– LD noted that we have another Habitat build day planned for Feb 17th, same area as last one (with a road name YHC can’t remember now). Seek details if interested
– Someone mentioned (YHC can’t remember at the moment who, notice a pattern?) that cupcake has a Super Bowl party coming up this weekend. Ask on slack for the deets
– Prayer requests were made for Motorboats Brother-in-law/Sister-in-law who are going through the valley at the moment and a reminder to pray for Strutters 2.0
Parting thought, according to Wikipedia, Lt. Murphy’s final words over the radio, as enemy fire rained down around him, were a simple “Thank you”. He had radioed in help for his team and the person on the other end of the call had likely responded that help was on the way (which would have been their job at that point). As a former Marine, I can tell you that “Thank You” is not taught as proper radio talk. An uncommon response to the common. Perhaps today we take an uncommon moment to truly thank someone for what they commonly do.
