Love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be hopeful, loving and optimistic and we will change the world.

This past weekend instead of going for a mediocre 5 mile run, I decided to hit the gym for Jump and Pump, since it is one of the rare Sundays I am available to take the class.
Jump & Pump
Warm up- Jumping Jacks, fast feet, jog in place
Deep Squats – Hold, 50 squats down and up, going as low as you can go. Hold.
Jump Rope – 2 minutes
Gliders- Short & Fast mountain climbers variations
Jump Rope- 3 minutes, high knees
Push Ups – 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
Inchworm
Shoulders- Resistance Band. Ouch. We used the yellow band which, I believe, is the easiest one and my shoulders were killing me, likely because they were already dead from the push ups.
Jump Rope – 3 minutes
Ski Hops + Burpees
It was a great class and the good news is I’m less sore than I was the last time I took the class! Yay for progress!
I have been posting about a few workouts here and there but I have been seriously slacking on NYC training posts. Time for an update!

*How many 20-milers do you run during a marathon training cycle?
For the 3 marathons I have run so far, I have always run 4- 20 milers.
