30 mile run + 3000 reps in one day ✅
10+ hours complete.

My personal reflection on Man in the Arena…

This was physically & mentally the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Not because I didn’t think it could be done, but because conditions are never perfect. In training. In community. In family. In life.

The heat was unbearable the back half of this thing. Into mile 20 + 2000 reps I genuinely had never felt so hot in my life LOL.

The feeling went something like: shivering cold, holding ice & cold towels on my head, to checking my temp at the same time because my whole body was on fire. Complete confusion. Nothing felt right. Safe. Or whatever I wanted to say. It was just hard. My body was not following where my mind wanted to go.

I knew that there was no way I was quitting so it was either fall out on the pavement or finish the whole thing. Wish I was exaggerating, but I had to dig so deep here. Hard things build character.

A few lessons learned 👇
1) keep your word to yourself & others
2) lead by example, it’s the only way.
3) great efforts come from a great team.
4) when you feel like you’re done, you have 40% in the tank.
5) don’t quit. Build a Bulletproof mindset.
6) training is not fitness. Training is a way of life.
7) your conditions will never be perfect.
8) ignore noise - focus on the goal.
9) build community that exists for something bigger than yourself.
10) sign up to do hard things & see what you are made of. Do it today.

MAN IN THE ARENA 2025 was really inspiring to me this year & I hope the same for others. I want to be clear & say no profit here is for me. For me, my family & our group - the thing that I want to shine most is a light on following Jesus & giving back to others. Our goal was to serve a greater mission & I believe we did that.

Proud of everyone this weekend.

Thank you sincerely to everyone who donated online, ran miles, repped & followed Man in the Arena 30/3000. We love you. We appreciate you.

& yes, that was HARD ☠️😆💜 love y’all.
