Fitness test results

I did my fitness test, and surprisingly I was in intermediate for most things (I thought I would be beginner).

Push-ups in 1 minute: 26 (knees)
Wall-sit: 1:05
Ab stage: 2 (just!): basically that means if I cross my arms across my body, I can sit up and reach my knees.
Sit and reach: 0cm (means I can reach my toes but not past them)

Time-trial (1KM): 4:54

The time trial is what shocked me, because it would put me in the advanced group.  I consider that I can't run (I still haven't made it past Week 2 of the Couch 2 5KM program).  I think the difference is that I can push  myself for shorter distances - I know it will be over soon.  Longer distances - not so much. 

So later this week or on the weekend I'm going to do a 5KM time trial, so when I complete the C25K program I cam see how much I've improved on a longer distance.
