murph!

As is our tradition, we did "murph" today at crossfit south brooklyn. it's a workout named after Michael Murphy, who was killed serving our country in Afghanistan.

The workout is as follows: run 1 mile

100 pullups, 200 pushups, 300 squats

run 1 miles

The first time I did this was my first workout at crossfit south brooklyn, recently after I stopped boxing due to a hand injury. my time was 45:36. last year, my time was 44:10. this year, I managed to eek out 41:58, which I was pretty happy with, considering I am a year older, and haven't crossfitted in 2 months as I've gone back to boxing.

it was a great day and really fun being back at crossfit south brooklyn, which is an awesome community of people. I've missed going to crossfit, but I really love boxing and I am sparring alot now and learning a ton so I'm going to stick with that for the time being, and drop by crossfit when I can.

memorial day reminds me of how lucky I am to live in such a great country, and thankful for the enormous sacrifices so many service people have made on our behalf.
