Greetings! Is it just me or does it seem like every year January, February, March and April go so slowly, then when May comes along its non-stop activities for the rest of the summer? That's how I feel right now! On Memorial Day we did probably the best known CrossFit workout which is called 'Murph'. It is in honor of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, N.Y. who was killed in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005. The workout was one of Murphy's favorite and has been named "Murph" in his honor. It looks like this:
I am also happy to mention that I'm again part of the WODTalk media team for 2015. My first article entitled, "Yes, I"m a CrossFitter" was published online on May 1st. I wrote this article from the perspective of someone who can no longer call themself a newbie but feels like they should have progressed more by now.
I've also started to expand my writing and recently had something featured on The Thought Catalog entitled, "15 Unfortunate Things That Only People Who Have Been Laid Off Understand." Obviously I wrote this article from my first hand experience of being laid off from a job. You might be able to relate, but I really hope that you can't! I am excited to see my writing featured on the Thought Catalog and I'm hoping this leads to more opportunities.

I needed that CrossFit post and thanks for sharing the link to your article. I've been going about a year-and-a-half and sometimes feel less strong than when I've started (I'm sure it doesn't help that I let it take a backseat to my half marathon training). I skipped on doing Murph this Memorial Day because my "effort" in doing push-ups and pull-ups is embarrassing. I mean, I've only done one single pull up since starting (and still can't do it every time I try). I feel like I'm built wrong or something.

Hi Melinda! I've been doing CrossFit for pretty much the same time amount of time (year and a half) and I find myself getting pretty frustrated at times. I think I only have 3-4 pull ups to my name at this point and like you said, they only happen on a good day.
