WOW! What an amazing accomplishment this weekend. I am beside myself with the amount of help, support and passion by everyone who gave up some of their free time this past weekend. I will never be able to thank each of you enough. As many of you know, we have moved just down the street, 2123 S. Philippe – same parking lot as the Life Cathedral Church parking lot. This move will enable us to continue to grow as a CrossFit Community and share our love for fitness with our youth. CrossFit Virtus Kids program begins this week and we are very excited to add this to our program. We appreciate your patience during this transition.

“MURPH”

1 mile Run
100 Pull-ups
200 Push-ups
300 Squats
1 mile Run

In memory of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, N.Y., who was killed in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005.

This workout was one of Mike’s favorites and he’d named it “Body Armor”. From here on it will be referred to as “Murph” in honor of the focused warrior and great American who wanted nothing more in life than to serve this great country and the beautiful people who make it what it is.

Partition the pull-ups, push-ups, and squats as needed. Start and finish with a mile run. If you’ve got a twenty pound vest or body armor, wear it.
