As many of you know, I had been training for the New York Marathon since this summer. It's been a dream of mine to run this race -- through a city that I love -- with thousands of other runners, coming from all different walks of life. I had no PR set in mind, other than I wanted to relish every minute of every mile.

And then, a few weekends before the race, I hurt my ankle.

Heavy sigh. It's my own fault but one that I'll own and accept as a sign that I need to cross train better for next year. Because there's always next year. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who sent well wishes that week, when I announced I wouldn't be running. And I also wanted to say thank you to everyone who still donated to the Magic Bus foundation, the charity I was running on behalf of. It meant the world to me and to those kids. Thank you.

As for me? I'm getting back on the horse! Because that's the only way you see progress, right? And just a few weekends ago, I was able to join the team over at Jockey for just that -- a little wellness and relaxation weekend at the Even Hotel in Brooklyn. It was the perfect recharge button I needed, complete with hot yoga at Tangerine (95 degrees +!) and a little ass kicking with Coach Hollis from Mile High Run Club. After a pretty busy fall season and what looks to be an even busier holiday season, it was so nice spending time with like minded girls to just unwind and sweat it out.

I'd be lying if I wasn't a bit more excited about the pampering though -- in room massages from Zeel and my first even facial workout with the folks at Face Love Fitness was just what this weary girl needed.

As for my workout clothes, you all know I'm a fan of Jockey and have been for years. The fit and breathability factors are always big selling points for me, given that I need my clothes to really perform for more than 5 miles. And now, with my new cross training commitment, I'm excited to put these bad boys to the test with a slew of high intensity training classes, heck, maybe with Coach Hollis herself! Wish me luck!

Huge thanks to the Jockey team for having me and I can't wait to kick start my cross training for next year's marathon!
