Murph
1 mile run
100 pull ups
200 push ups
300 squats
1 mile run

Total time = 53:55

I got a lot to say about Murph because I am really freaking proud of my time!!

I did Murph for the first time on July of 2011. I used a blue band for 7 rounds and a green band for the remaining 13 rounds and did push ups on my knees. This time I RXed!!!!

My time for the first mile was under 9 minutes (8:55 to be exact). I cannot tell you the last time (or if I ever) ran a sub-9 minute mile. In July, I remember it being 9:30ish and I was struggling to keep that pace.

Pull ups, push ups, squats - started off good, but man those things catch up to you. I was able to do the first 13 rounds with the pull ups unbroken. After that it was 3 &2 to get through them. Not complaining though, I got them done at 43:40 (which means it took 34:45 to get through those 20 rounds)

The last run was rough to start, but once I found my rhythm I told myself to just keep running and my run time was 10:15. I will take that after everything else I had done :)

As tough as Murph is, I feel freaking fantastic, awesome, and wonderful about the great workout and the progress I have made in 10 months.

And I have to show off this picture Hillary took of my angel wings. I didn't know I had those, but I like them!
