I had never heard of this until I found @kylesheppard10 here on two percent and started doing his daily challenge for May. 25 pull ups, 50 push-ups, 100 squats, found out that was a modified Murph, and I thought what a great idea for a Misogi!
At 62 and having lost 60lbs the last two years, the challenge was a beast, so I decided to do a modified Murph to honor my friend Patrick Lovitt, ex-Seal, who died two years ago at 47 from Pancreatic/Liver cancer, leaving a wife and two young boys.
I hadn’t run since 1988 until 5 weeks ago, so I set a Misogi for this year to run a 5k in under 30 min on Thanksgiving.
My Annual Memorial Day Murph Workout ✅
I did all prescribed movements, did not wear the 20# vest.
44:20 was my time which is a 3:07 PR from what was my fastest time last year, 47:27.
The breakdown:
1 mile Run - 9:45
20 x 5 Pull-ups, 10 Push-ups, 15 Air Squats - 25:10
1 mile Run (more hills than first mile) - 9:25
Honor and Remember 🇺🇸
👏🏻👊🏻
Nice job!!!
You're not supposed to say, "happy memorial day" for obvious reasons.
As long as I'm here, here a short video about the GSP for you to enjoy!

I hadn't thought of that. Thanks for pointing it out. I've updated the intro.
