Our Spaghetti Dinner Fund Raiser for Charlie and Brian held last night was a big success. There was a good turn out and good food. That is a perfect combination for a great time.
We had several far away visitors. Rolf and Harvey came up from Lexington, Kate came down from Cleveland and Toby and the SPC gang came over from Stow. The Doylestown Community Center was a great venue for the event. After dinner we all watched the CrossFit Movie, “Every Second Counts”.
There was more food than we could ever eat and the cookies and cakes seems to keep multiplying.
Kelly and Eric did a fantastic job of organizing and coordinating the entire event. That was a huge job.
Once the clean up crew went to work there was no trace we had ever been there, just the good memories of a fun evening.
Not sure what the actual amount raise was at this point but whatever it was, it is going to be put to good use.
At nine this morning we had a big crown to do “Murph”.
 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. |

| 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. |

You can check the whiteboard above for the three variations of Murph that we had to work with this morning. Although I did well in the workout this morning I was disappointed that I let my fear of running two miles keep me from doing the full WOD and I went with the “Rowing Murph”. It’s easy now to think I could have completed the running Murph with no issue but that is just hindsight. I worked hard and I feel good now so it was a successful workout for me.
Carl did the “Rowing Murph” along with me and everyone else did the full on “Murph”. I had harassed Carl unmercifully last night about coming this morning so I was really glad to see him buck up and come to the workout with Steve this morning. We will see what luck we have getting him out of bed once in awhile during his summer vacation to get in some 6AM workouts.
Doug was with us this morning and performed well…..with a 20 pound vest. Doug won the NEO CrossFit Challenge last month. We are really lucky to have someone like Doug to really show us how it is suppose to be done.
Eating—I have to admit that I went off plan for the holiday. I made it 18 days without a doughnut. Now it’s back to being on plan again.
What hurts today—The pain in my heel has reduced so I think that issue is almost over. I got past our deadlifts this week with no back pain as a result. Left shoulder still needs to be babied but is better.
