What a great day for the "Murph"  Challenge at Infinite CrossFit in Frisco.  A little rain and a little breeze made all of the difference.  My 10 year old son, Ayri, participated as well.  For those that may not be familiar with the "Murph" challenge here's the workout that separates the contenders from the "pretenders": 

• 1 mile run
  
• 100 pull-ups
• 200 push-ups
• 300 squats
• 1 mile run

All  of this while wearing a 20 pound vest.  Most people opted out of the extra 20 pounds this weekend but I wanted to see if I could finish with the vest on the entire time.  I did it!!  You never know what kind of shape you're REALLY in until you do something like this!  It was very difficult but gave me a real appreciation for what military troops go through when training for any type of special forces or special ops.  This was probably their daily warm-up, but it was a killer workout for the rest of us civilians.  Ningxia Red and Ningxia Nitro were on hand for the energy to complete the challenge that took just over an hour and PanAway was on hand for my sore and achy muscles and joints.  To get these Young Living products click here.  

Man, I am pooped, but extremely blessed to have taken the challenge with my son.  He was in superhero mode today!  I'm so proud of him.   I can't thank our Chief Commander, Bo Yates, enough for hosting the challenge at Infinite CrossFit.  For some life-changing workouts visit  Bo's website at infinitefitnessfrisco.com.   Be blessed and encouraged that you too can work your body to it's max potential in a safe way.  Thanks for reading!  But when in doubt, Just Oil It!  

Today is the first of many blogs about my family's journey and experiences with Essential Oils.  Memorial Day will be a day full of essential oils for me as I'll be participating in the "Murph" challenge at CrossFit Infinite.  I'll be using a lot of PanAway for pain as this challenge will consist of the following: 1 mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 squats, and another 1 mile run all while wearing a 20 pound vest.  Please pray for me!....or else you'll have to deal with him....
