3.5 miles on the Kaysville Rails to Trails paved pathway. Planned on 4, but wasn't feeling it so stopped at 3.5.

What is going on with me? I did nearly 4 slow miles today, AP 8:56, and I was dying most of the way. I am not running fast or much, and my body is rebelling. Am I deficient on certain vitamins or minerals? Am I a total wimp? It's not like my mileage is a lot - it's been less than 20 per week for some time. Am I running too much? Too little? Too slow? I'm getting enough sleep, typically 7 hours per night (maybe I need closer to 8) and my sleep has been pretty solid. I think my nutrition is pretty solid, but I'm not taking a multi vitamin so maybe that needs to change. Maybe I need more greens in my diet, especially the dark leafy iron-rich ones? I could lose 10-15 lbs, I'm getting pretty flabby and my weight has crept up and up so that can't help. I'm leaning towards the biggest causes being my diet and my weight. Any other thoughts in the FRBverse? Not that many read my blogs anymore, but maybe there will be some ideas. Thanks in advance.

Update: It might just be fatigue from traveling 2000 miles last week. I came home last night at 8:45 and crashed, slept almost 10 hours. My wife is exhausted also. Weird.
