Murph Tribute

First, I'd like to show you my face. :-) .

Murph Tribute:
1-mile Run
50 pullups
100 pushups
150 situps
200 squats
1-mile Run
50 pullups
100 pushups
150 situps
200 squats
1-mile Run
No Partitioning

The "No Partitioning" part simply means that I can't break the calisthenics up into 10 sets of 5 pullups, 10 pushups, 15 situps, and 20 squats. However, that doesn't mean you have to do 50 pullups without leaving the pullup bar.

Time breakdown:
(each segment includes transition time from that segment to the next)

Mile #1: 8:06.76
Cal #1: 26:03.88
Mile #2: 10:56.17
Cal #2: 27:39.96
Mile #3: 9:39.37
Total: 1:22:26

The workout almost made me quit. It almost made me puke. It almost hurt me. Luckily none of those things happened and I ended up finishing very satisfied with my workout. I have continued to recover quickly after workouts and at this point I feel as though I could keep going with no other motivation than my own.

This is reassuring for me because I need to be the toughest at GoRuck to survive. It's likely that I will be the smallest one there, thus, I will need to be capable of carrying not just my own load but the load of a man 30 pounds heavier than myself. I'll need motivation to keep up my morale.

Compel me.

P.S. I may get my nose fixed before GoRuck which will allow me to breathe out of my left nostril which has severely deviated septum. HOLLA!
