"Murph"
For time:
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. 

If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it. - Mary Engelbreit

Why I need the Whole Life Challenge more than I think: 

• Because I haven't set a PR on anything in a while.
• Because I am asking myself "what's a PR?"
• Because Mocha Frappuccino’s have made their way back into my daily routine.
• Because I can "pinch an inch" (or much more) on my waistline.
• Because I've been half-assing it.
• Because I've been watching someone else give it 110%, and I've seen their results.
• Because it's almost time for skinny jeans again.
• Because I want those 5 damn dead hang pull ups.
• Because the kids are back in school.
• Because summer flew by along with my dreams for a summer body.
• Because it's football season.
• Because those summer BBQs & beers have caught up with me.
• Because I can afford $45.
• Because I am not afraid of a little competition.
• Because I've come this far.
• Because I know I can be a better version of myself.
• Because CrossFitters thrive with encouragement, goal-setting, and structure.

Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant. - Robert Louis Stevenson

Just relax...

Then, without realizing it, you try to improve yourself at the start of each new day; of course, you achieve quite a lot in the course of time. Anyone can do this, it costs nothing and is certainly very helpful. Whoever doesn't know it must learn and find by experience that a quiet conscience makes one strong. - Anne Frank

Hey,

I want you to read an email from a great coach that he wrote to his clients. It totally
makes sense for me and I thought I should share...




...And in honor of tomorrow being the first day to register (remember, the actual Challenge Prelims start on Saturday, September 15 at High Voltage), I've put together what I'm calling 'The 7 Stages of the Whole Life Challenge'. This has come from talking to so many of you about the benefits of accountability and participation...be sure to tell me in comments what stage you're at! My mom, she's finally reached stage 5! Boom. We'll all be at Stage 7 on Saturday, November 10 (The Challenge Finals).

1-    Denial: I don’t need a Challenge, I’m fine. (me: Sure you are… have you SEEN this video? Awesomesauce!)

2-    Pain & Guilt: I’m too (insert yours here: busy, tired, perfect) already to take this on. I can’t do a Challenge in September – I’ve only got 4 more weeks to get ready for it, there’s no way I can be ready in 4 weeks.

3-    Anger & Bargaining: That's not how I already do things! Maybe I’ll watch others do the Challenge, and see if they get any results with all this ‘regular and moderate exercise, improved nutrition, stretching, and fish oils’ sensible approach.

4-    Depression: ‘Everyone else is going to rock the challenge, but not me…there’s NO WAY I can do 8 weeks of this. I always (insert your crutch here), I can't go 8 weeks without it! Ok, I’ll register, but I doub’t I’ll do well. Everyone else is perfect…everyone but me.

5-    The Upward Turn: Wait, this is actually pretty cool...everyone else seems pretty stoked about the Challenge too…they’re even looking forward to it…what would my life look like if I really took advantage of this awesome opportunity? (me: your life would be even more awesome, of course!)

6-    Reconstruction: You’re DOING the Challenge (starting with the Prelims on Saturday, September 15 at High Voltage) AND…you’re actually living the goals and life that others ENVY. Your friends & family want to register and get in on the awesomeness (and they actually can!).
7-    Acceptance & Hope: You have internalized the process that we’ve designed to help you live your healthiest life ever. Now, this doesn’t mean you’re perfect. This doesn’t mean you earned a perfect score but are miserable. This means you try hard, cut yourself some slack, and know a ton more about how your body operates, avoid the pitfalls that usually diminish your long term results and kick you off track, and saw some amazing results from the 8 weeks. By now you’ve no doubt inspired others in your to try to live healthier…now they’re not at stage 7…they’re maybe at 2 or 3…and that’s OK – you were there just a few weeks ago, remember?

Whole Life Challenge Worldwide

The Whole Life Challenge began with the notion that regular training for your lifestyle in the world is as valuable as regular training for your body in the gym. It grew into a game in which your world is the field, your choices are the movements, and your life is the prize. 

The Whole Life Challenge is not something you win in the way you are used to winning something. The Whole Life Challenge is not a competition like any you've every taken part in. This is not the Olympics. The goal is not to be perfect. The goal is to be honest and create from there. You won't best the other players or beat the competition. Make no mistake, however, this is a game and you can win.

The Whole Life Challenge is a brand new way of looking at your life. Your whole life. 

How does it work? Where are your opportunities? What does a life lived inside of a commitment to real, long term, sustainable, practical health, fitness, and overall well-being look like? It certainly isn't about beating your brains out in the gym day after day. It can't be about a restrictive, ascetic dietary regimen. And it definitely isn't living like your health is a problem to solve and your life is something to fix.

The Whole Life Challenge is an extraordinary tool. For building. It doesn't fix anything -- it only builds new things. What do you want your life to look like? What excites you, enlivens you? This challenge will have you living a life where you can have it all. You want vibrant health and you want to enjoy all of the exciting things the world offers -- work that rewards and play that rewards. When this is over, your work will be integrated with your play. They will cause and support each other, the will no longer sabotage each other.

Play this game like you want to know, not like you already know. Be great -- Own your perfect days and your breakdown days. Be clear about what works and what doesn't work. See where you can make a difference that lasts longer than the 8 weeks of the challenge. Do that, and you will transform your life more than you imagine. You can have it all. This is where it starts.

Welcome to the Whole Life Challenge? What will you build with it?

Important dates for you:

• August 15-Sept 8: Registration for the WLC
• September 15: The WLC Prelims (WOD & Measurements)
• November 10: The WLC Finals

1 minute is spent at each of the 5 stations, resulting in a 5 minute round after which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. This event calls for 5 rounds. The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. On call of "rotate" the athletes must move to the next station immediately.

Life is like a blanket too short. You pull it up and your toes rebel, you yank it down and shivers meander about your shoulder; but cheerful folks manage to draw their knees up and pass a very comfortable night.

As long as you know what it is you desire, then by simply affirming that it is yours -- firmly and positively, with no ifs, buts, or maybes -- over and over again, from the minute you arise in the morning until the time you go to sleep at night, and as many times during the day as your work or activities permit, you will be drawn to those people, places, and events that will bring your desires to you. - Scott Reed
