My first ever Murph. It's a bit of a mind f@#$ no matter how you do it, but doing it by myself in the sticky heat of southern Houston while my family slept soundly immersed in modern comfort was something else.
Lt Michael Murphy loved this workout but probably never imagined it would be named for him after his passing. He died a hero on the day I turned 17, on the cusp of adulthood, unable to fathom what sacrifice and discomfort truly mean. He literally drew away gunfire while calling for help so his comrades could have a chance to escape to safety. I stewed on this most of the workout. People say they'd take a bullet for a loved one, yet it's hard to believe most of us would make the same choice given such frightful circumstances - myself included! We love to think the best of ourselves, but only in the crucible do we truly learn who we are and what we're capable of.
Many thanks to my CrossFit family @crossfitcbd for helping me learn.
And zero thanks to Google Maps for an inaccurate distance measuring tool. What I thought was a mile on each end was merely 0.6 miles each. π€¬

Proof of life: Japan (raw egg + rice restaurant π€ and playing in the snow), Texas (Shelby's favorite song is "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" because of course my niece is that wholesome π₯°), New Zealand (a different kind of beach life), and Hawaii (the bug issues commands in our new home).

When @nomnompaleo 's newest cookbook @nomnompaleoletsgo gets released and finally arrives on your doorstep, of course you make poached chicken with ginger scallion sauce. LET'S GO Y'ALL!

90% sure I've got omicron and have not left the apt in 4 days except for a walk during the snowfall when I was confident no one else would be out and about. Feeling significantly less achy today and finally nailed this transition from crow to headstand.

Reminding everybody that everyone edits TF out of what they post online. Case in point, I'm sharing only takes 6 and 8 out of 14 from today's crow variations because they're the least embarrassing.

I've found myself saying "la" as a little self pep talk and to get into the zone. 90% sure I took it from Charmy from the anime Black Clover, even though I haven't watched it in years. The things you do to get through the day!

Swipe for expectation versus reality. @whatcadefound nearly died laughing when breakfast was served.
