Answer

The force you exert on the ground is greater than your weight.

Work Step by Step

This is discussed on pages 63-64. The net force on you is upward, because you are accelerating upward. To make the net force on you point upward, the ground must push up on you with a force greater than the downward force of gravity. The force you exert on the ground is equal and opposite to the force it exerts on you.
