Hundred push ups - week 5

I tried to do week 5 of the One Hundred Push Up Challenge. "Tried" is the key word. It wasn't even close. Week 5 is so much harder than week 4. The time between sets of pushups is less, the number of sets goes up, and most notably, the number of push ups required for the final set goes way up.

Day 1
Required: 40, 32, 30, 25, at least 40
Actual: 40, 32, 21 (I gave up after 3 sets)

Day 2
Required: 20, 20, 18, 18, 15, 15, 14, at least 40
Actual: 20, 20, 18, 18, 15, 15, 14, 16 (not even close to 40)

Day 3
Required: 18, 18, 16, 16, 14, 14, 12, at least 40
Actual: 18, 18, 16, 16, 14, 14, 12, 14 (even worse)

My test after week 4 put me into the hardest category for week 5. I think I'll step it down a level and re-do week 5.

I think this 6 week challenge is (not surprisingly) going to take quite a bit longer. But I'm not giving up.
