MY HERO JOURNEY

Hero:

An ordinary person facing extraordinary circumstances and acting with courage, honor and self-sacrifice.

Not too long into my crossfit journey I learned about a workout called "Murph".  It was a one mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 squats, and then a second mile run.  I fell in love with the WOD because it was simple and I didn't need any fancy equipment to do it.  All I needed was my body and pull-up bar.  At the bottom of the description I saw that it said "If you have a 20 pound vest, wear it."  Well, I made that my goal!  I wanted one day to do Murph with a 20 pound vest!  It meant something to me and I wasn't sure why... 


Fast forward a couple of months when I learned that "Murph" was a workout honoring Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, NY, who was killed in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005.  I learned that this workout was one of Mike's favorites and he'd named it 'Body Armor.' I fell in love with the idea of doing a workout to honor someone else.  I love to workout but doing it for someone made it that much more meaningful and I knew it would make me push more as I thought about that person when I felt I was "suffering."  ​I then learned that there were many, many more WODs honoring people and I decided that one day - I would do them all!  Well - now is the time!!  

​

This is my journey through all the known Hero WODs, named WODs and girl named WODs that I know of.  I am truly honored to do them and grateful that I am able to physically and mentally challenge myself in the way that I can.  Thank you for following my journey and I would love to know if you do some of these yourself and how you do!With great love... ​Juliet
