In memory of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, NY, 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 Route:
From the gym: 1) Turn left out of the parking onto Belleview Ave. 2) Turn left onto River Rd. 3) Run along River Rd until you get to River Ct. 4) Turn around and run back to gym.
