This morning the PAX met Navy Seal Lt. Michael Murphy in Macungie Park. Murph is one of the most decorated military leaders of our time. In 2005, he lost his life at age 29 in Afghanistan War. There have been several buildings and foundations named in his honor. A workout was even made in tribute to him called the Murph. A Murph is a 1 mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 merkins, 300 squats, followed by a another 1 mile run. Simple right, all you need to do is add a 20lb weight vest or full military combat gear and you can say you successfully completed the Murph (AKA Navy Seal Workout). If you can do it under 45 minutes, then you might pass Navy Seal training.
Disclosure given, mosey to warm-up.

The Thang: Most of the PAX is a few pull-ups short of Navy Seal training so we landed on a Cindy Crawford version of the full Murph, or AKA (Quarter Murph)
