Operation Murph

WHOOP recently published a study that followed Dr. Alex Hajduczok’s journey attempting to complete 30 Murph workouts in 30 Days. I have decided to take this challenge on during the month of November while paralleling the No Shave November campaign. A “Murph” workout is named after Lt. Michael Murphy of Operation Red Wings in which Murphy and two other team members were killed in action while Marcus Luttrell survived to tell their story in the book “Lone Survivor” that has also been turned into a film. A “Murph” workout is as follows:

1-Mile Run

100 Pull-Ups

200 Push-Ups

300 Air Squats

Another 1-Mile Run

*All while wearing a 20 pound weighted vest that Murphy called “Body Armor”*

I plan on carrying this challenge out to test myself both physically and mentally while raising money for the Lt. Michael P. Murphy Memorial Scholarship Foundation that, “was started in 2007 by Michael’s parents, Dan and Maureen, and Michael’s brother John. Michael was an avid reader and felt that education was key, in fact his favorite saying was “Education will set you free”. With the help of a few close sponsors I hope to raise as much money as possible and hopefully spread Lt. Murphy’s story as far as possible while testing myself each and every day.

Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.
