Some days you want to let the pillow win. Today was one of those days, but I didn't let it win. I am back to getting up at 4:30 to get my workouts done for the day. I think I'm annoying my wife, but the soreness says that it is doing me good. Still trying to plan out my food for the majority of the day to hit my protein goals, but I'm still falling short. I'll adapt and adjust things accordingly to get better at it. #Spartan #Project300 #Reforged

Were you one of the 83K people who applied to be part of @300hardway last year and didn’t get in? Now you have the opportunity to be part of an even bigger Season ✌️! While we just kicked off the “Pregame” this week, still plenty of time to hop in and get yourself ready for the launch of Project 300: Reforged on 1/1! 🔥 Click the link in my bio to get started! If you’ve followed my journey through the original P300, you know that I always talked about community and how big of a factor that was. This time it gets even better! Between the incredible list of Advisors and our amazing lead coaches, @frank_sepe and @zraz, it’s bigger than before 🙌🏻 So if you’re reading this and wondering if you can do this, the answer is a resounding YES! We all work together to hit our goals and stay accountable and that’s what Season 2 is all about. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞? 1️⃣ Pay to play. Last time people took advantage of the free stuff and bailed. This time you pay a $99 annual fee and you get access to the community, the Skool app, and all the plan specific training inside of it. It gives you skin in the game while giving you all the tools you need to succeed in whatever your goals are! 2️⃣ The Pregame gets you ready for what’s coming in Jan. After that, if you’re missing check ins and not being accountable, you’re out of the Pods but still have access to the app and all the training. 3️⃣ Pods are based on your goals! There will also be Military and First Responder Pods for those who serve their country and communities. Training for an Ultra? First race? DEKA? Better physique? There’s a Pod for you. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to leave your excuses at the door and hit the New Year strong 🙌🏻 We have a diverse community with people of all ages and abilities, people who beat cancer, reclaimed their sobriety, no longer need to take meds, GLP, and many more. All we’re missing is you! It comes down to this: 𝕀𝕗 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕘𝕠𝕒𝕝𝕤 𝕕𝕠𝕟’𝕥 𝕤𝕔𝕒𝕣𝕖 𝕪𝕠𝕦, 𝕥𝕙𝕖𝕪’𝕣𝕖 𝕟𝕠𝕥 𝕓𝕚𝕘 𝕖𝕟𝕠𝕦𝕘𝕙 #fitdad #fitat50 #fitnessmotivation #project300 #2027

So I did a lot of driving the past few weeks, but it was for a good cause, fundraising for @operationvest this was another part of the mission in the overall year long journey. Currently at 44 states and 66 ultra marathons for the year. The objective was 13 50ks in 9 States, however, had to cut 3 out due to illness, but still managed to get all 9 states in, so still on track to hit all 50. I have 31 days until I leave for the next series, which is another 6 in 6 states in 6 days(5 of which are new for the year) hitting New Mexico, Colorado(again) Utah, Arizona, Nevada and California, then in January I finish the 50k mission for Operation VEST in Hawaii. Total fundraised so far $17,340 link is in the bio...

The longer answer about the vest. Bone loss is quiet. You can’t feel it happening, and many people don’t find out they have osteoporosis until they break something. Osteoporotic fractures lead to more hospitalizations than heart attacks, strokes, and breast cancer combined. The good news: a lot can be done, especially early. @bonehealthandosteoporosis helps people understand their bone health and act on it before a fracture forces the conversation. On Nov 1, I’m running the TCS NYC Marathon with the Be Bone Strong Team. Fundraising closes Oct 14. I’m at $1,515.52 of $5,000. $10 or $100, every gift counts. Can’t give right now? Share this with someone who’d care. Link in bio. #project300 #runningforacause #fundraising #nycmarathon #spartanrace

I’ve received many questions (even @realjoedesena was curious) about why I was running Vermont Spartan Ultra 50k on Killington mountain in a 20lb weighted vest. Short answer: because it’s harder. Longer answer coming this week. 32 miles, 60 obstacles, 14,505 ft elevation gain in 14 hours 34 minutes. Worth every second of suffering. #project300 #spartankillington #ocr #dohardthings #spartanrace

After spending 3 days on the road driving by myself to get from Long Island, NY to Oregon, tomorrow starts the Northwest Series, 6 50ks(31 miles each) in 6 days covering 3 states. Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Then after that I travel East and go to the Center of the country. Races start at 5:30am Pacific Time, so basically since my body is still on the East Coast, I'll be wide awake because that's 8:30 my time 🤣🤣🤣 This is a continuation of my year long fundraising mission to help @operationvest link is in the bio...

Forgot to put this up this morning. Left at 6am, knocked out 1,000 miles in about 14 hours. Arriving in Davenport, Iowa at 9pm CST. I planned on 4 days, but I'll Probably make it in 3, so if I get to Oregon on Thursday night, I have an entire day of rest on Friday, before starting a stretch of 13 Ultramarathons in a 16 day period with a 45 pound Rucksack and the American Flag continuing my 50 state mission to raise money for @operationvest .(Link in bio on IG, posted below on Facebook) 26 hours and about 1,770 miles left. Oregon will be the 50th state I've stepped foot in, so once I arrive I'll have been in every state AND Puerto Rico (I did a training exercise there when I was in the Marines)

Ever wonder what @spartanrace is like? Run a Beast 21K with me. It was my first time at the West Virginia venue and wow it did not disappoint! Enjoy the sounds of my suffering 🤣 Had a few mishaps with some obstacles but also got further than I ever have on others! Honestly, I loved this course and wish it were an Ultra, cause I’d love to endure this twice!! #project300 #spartanracewestvirginiatrifecta #spartanrace #ocr #trailrun

Bulking season update! My new schedule has been lifting 2x per week, climbing 2x per week, and an easy run 1x per week I’ve seen some small improvements across the board on my lifts, which I’m not surprised at the slow progress since I’m only lifting twice a week. but I’ve also seen small improvements in climbing too, which has been a nice surprise since I’ve put on about 10lbs since mid July. Been starting to break into a lot more V5’s than I used to, so that’s been cool to see(this one probably isn’t a V5 just a fun one I did today). @300hardway get me on the obstacles group for the next round of the project fr 💪 😤

Sometimes we work quietly in the background on a project or two. I committed to sharing my story in two entirely different ways. While you see the progress over perfection in fitness, you haven’t seen the hours of writing, reflection, being stuck staring at the screen, and then it suddenly comes to life with the right story at just the right time. The first finish line is done. Next up is revision for one book & research integration for the other. It’s been an incredible journey so far! I didn’t say easy rather an experience like no other. It’s all about growth & development no matter how young or old you are with coaches/mentors pushing all along the way. Stay tuned for more in 2027! Just in time for #project300 2.0. 😎
