My arms don't work good no more

C25K: Started final week! 2 more sessions to go!
Push-ups: Finished week one! Five more to go!
Squats: Finished week three! Three more to go!

Pretty pleased about the running guys: I managed to go for the whole thirty minutes! In fact, I went ahead and went for another three minutes. If my treadmill is to be believed, after thirty three minutes, I ran the full five kilometres, supposing that the treadmill reports the distance accurately and in kilometres! So I'm going to have to kick up my speed a little to run the full distance in thirty minutes, but I'm really happy that I managed to do the whole distance. Still gotta finish the last week before I can pass final judgement, but it's looking like the programme is a winner, I'm certain I couldn't have gone the distance back when I started.

Push-ups are going well: Finished the first week, at the lowest tier. I don't think I could have done what I did in the last session when I first started, a whole.. week ago. So yeah, there's next week coming up, followed by an exhaustion test at the end of that. I'm aiming to beat 11. I feel pretty good after these sessions, I can't wait to find out if they're doing anything! The only downside is the complete exhaustion in my arms at the end of each session. The sensation comes back in a couple of days though, so it's all good!

Squats are pretty.. Well, not easy, but they're fairly comfortable. I'm wondering if there's any cross-benefits from the squats to the running, or vice-versa. Indeed, I'm surprised I was able to start at week three at all, maybe that came from the seven weeks of prior running? Man, this health business is really quite involved!
