I am totally going backwards on these push ups, but what can you do?

Run Fartlek
Total: 1 mile (1.61 kms) in 7:13 minutes Avg. Speed: 13.36 km/hr Pace: 4:28/Km
Fartlek is a Swedish word that means "Speed Play". The general idea is to run a distance while varying your running speed: maybe you'll start out sprinting and then go into a light jog and then maybe increasing your speed gradually until you end your run in a sprint. The pace is good, but the sprinting really wears me out, so there's no way I can keep up the 4:28/km for 5 kms (yet).
I'm still running for 30 minutes 3 times a week and then one day I do a one mile fartlek run. Hopefully I'll make it 4 x 30 minutes this week.

Title!
JOG: 30.12 minute jog
Distance: 5.67 km Speed: 11.27 km/hr Pace: 05:20 min/km
I cut down my pace by 10 seconds! That's great. Just need to cut it down 20 more seconds/km over the next few months and I'll be happy happy happy!
My running is coming along nicely, as well as my Crunches, which I have just completed the fifth week of Two Hundred Situps.
My push-ups aren't coming very well. It's hard going, and I can't do more than maybe 20 in a row without taking a few second break. Don't know what to do about that. I'm still redoing week 4 of Hundred Pushups.
And I still haven't gotten a pull up bar. So, as you can see, I'm pretty stuck! Not to worry, though. This is long term, remember.

Hard Habit to Break
Well, I'm in a little bit of a pickle, here.
This week, I had a gap of 5 days between push-up days, at that really hurt my training, I think. I'm starting week 4 over again. It's a little disappointing, but I only have myself to blame. So.

It's a shame!
JOG: 30 minute jog
Distance: 5.44 km Speed: 10.94 km/hr Pace: 05:31 min/km
Trying a little different Format here, so I can better keep track of where I'm going towards my 5K goal of <25 minutes. So my speed has to be Pace has to be 5:00 min/km.
Also, in other aspects of my life, I finished a Novina, praying for 9 days, of Divine mercy (for more information, follow this link http://thedivinemercy.org/message/devotions/novena.php. And when I said the chaplet each day I was in the adoration chapel, I looked forward to going there every day, and I still do. Maybe I'll see if there's an open hour I can sign up for.
