SSG Rob Miller will be awarded the Medal Of Honor Posthumously by President Barack Obama. Read the story here
Some of Rob's local friends and supporters have been doing a CrossFit Hero workout in honor of Rob. We will also honor Rob with this same workout:
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
* 1 mile Run
* 100 Pull-ups
* 200 Push-ups
* 300 Squats
* 1 mile Run
For time.
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.
There is an option for a half murph also.
Post thoughts, times to comments....
So I'm just getting caught up on these now, after getting back from Chiang Mai. I didn't realize Rob was getting the Medal of Honor, that's great. He was a Wheaton North grad, and his older sister was a friend of mine growing up, so I knew him since he was a first grader. We lost touch with his family after high school, until his sisters wedding (about a year or so before he passed). Good to see he's still being remembered.
