Before we get to the details of May 31st and the workout, I think it's very important to understand the WHY behind this workout and event. Maybe more important than the WHY, is the WHO. Many of you have heard of the workout, "Murph", but it's now become such a household name that (IMO) people have almost become disconnected from what this is all about. It so much more than running and a lot of reps.
If you haven't taken the time to look into the background of Lt. Michael Murphy, you need to. It won't be difficult....all it takes is a quick Google search and you'll discover an extremely powerful story of service, brotherhood, selflessness and bravery.
I'm not going to attempt to re-tell or re-write the story that others have told better than I ever could. Rather, I will share this little glimpse into the details of what happened during Operation Red Wings that would ultimately bring "Murph" to the forefront.
Again, this is a very, very brief description of Murhpy's actions, and I hope that you make the time to look a little deeper. In fact, if you are hooked....I can say with 100% honesty that the book, "Lone Survivor" will provide a story that will change your life.
In fact, the Lone Survivor Foundation was created by Murphy's TEAMmate, Former SEAL and author of Lone Survivor, Marcus Luttrell. The LSF will be receiving 100% of the proceeds that we raise on May 31st. This is just one more reason to come out and participate in workout and contribute to something that is so much larger.
