Day 14 went smoothly enough. I was able to easily get through my push ups. My C25K was easier than Monday and Wednesday. I can tell that the program is working. I am running a little bit faster and my legs are hurting less and less.
Day 15 My run went great, absolutely great. I started off real strong and finished my first 5 minutes real strong and felt like I could go a lot longer. The second 5 minute run was over when I saw the 1 mile mark and sprinted until I was past it. I do not know how but I did. It felt great. I finished the last 5 minutes strong and was ready to go home and crank out my push ups.
Over the weekend I did my exhaustion test and managed to pump out 36. 36, my initial test was 7. I added 29 push ups. I was so ready for week 5. Got home after my great run did the first 4 levels and got to the fifth level and failed. I collapsed, I was done. I fell to the ground and could not push myself up. I couldn’t believe it. To come so far and just fail like that. Oh well though, it happens. I will finish this week and restart Monday on week 5.

Hey good job on the run and the pushups! five sets is a lot of pushups. Keep working at it. Make sure you get enough rests between sets.
It sounds like you are doing great Ara! Don’t let a little set back get you down. Way to go on the sprint!
