Probably just one of those days... You have made some significant jumps in mileage in the past couple weeks, but I doubt you're overtraining. See how tomorrow goes, and if you're still feeling terrible cut the run short.
Just because running is simple does not mean it is easy.

More importantly, there isn't much variation in your pace. Your recent easy runs have been run at almost (and in one case exactly) the same pace as your "tempo" runs, and your longer runs have been run at the same pace, too (or even faster).

Ok, so slow down on the easy days huh? I will try. I think I've been trying to get faster by race that I have been pushing myself every day so I can get my pace down by May 4th.
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
It may seem counterintuitive, but running slow helps. Running slow allows you to recover. Recovery allows you to run more. Running more makes you faster. For most people, more miles will lead to greater improvement than more speed. Also, slow on your easy days allows you to get more out of your hard days.
