Nothin' like CRUSHING a personal record

I am so fired up for my workout crew.  Tonight we ran "Murph" (see below) and everyone posted some seriously awesome gains.

Please keep in mind - these are people who are training hard 2-3 times a week.  Our sessions are about 30 minutes long.  I say that because some people think they have to train hours a day, 6 days a week to get fit.  Not true.  You just have to train smart!

These gains are awesome for me to see as a coach.  I also posted my own personal record.

"Murph" (in honor of Lt. Michael Murphy, USN SEAL)
Time yourself to complete:

run 1 mile
100 pullups
200 pushups
300 squats
run 1 mile

You can partition the bodyweight exercises how you like.  We did 20 rounds of (5 pullups, 10 pushups and 15 squats).  COMPARE these results to last time.  Impressive improvements.

My time: 30:30  (first time I tried it I scored 54 minutes)
Taylor: 31:00 (both Taylor and I posted 5+ minute improvements since August)
Evan: 34:30 (BEST IMPROVEMENT!)
Amalia: 34:00 Amalia did some jumping pullups but all-in-all a great "Murph" time for her first go at it.
