I decided to spend my Memorial Day honoring Navy lieutenant Michael Murphy Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, N.Y. He was killed in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005.

This workout was one of Mike's favourites and he'd named it 'Body Armor. From here on it will be referred to as 'Murph' in honour 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

the “Murph” workout was

•1 mile of run
•100 pull ups
•200 pushups
•300 air squats
•1 mile run

this was one of the hardest workouts I ever done so far but doing it while honoring him was a blessing

thank you to everyone that served for our country and happy Memorial Day

Me and Annie girl took a little spill at the crawfish craze yesterday thankfully everyone is okay Annie hasn’t shown any signs of being hurt and there isn’t hardly a scratch on her thank you to everyone that came and checked on me

Annie and I went to the Lrca in Malakoff tx and she did outstanding this was my first time running her on a bigger pattern but I had to safety up a little because the ground was dryer and I didn’t want to take the risk of hurting my horse super blessed to have this mare

I usually don’t post down barrels but

me and Annie girl would have took the lead at the upra/Lrca with a 15.9

From my rider error at the first barrel made us hit it but with going to a complete stop and pulling up on the way home we still would have took the lead

Annie is just such a amazing athlete and every time we run she gives me her all but besides hitting a barrel I’m still very proud of her and I not going to lie she was running hard but I’m mostly proud of her for handling the big patterns this weekend like a pro Erin Hajek

and thank you Lacey Dunn for keeping Anna e at her best for me 24/7

thank you to all my sponsors
