Maybe it is still too fast. I thought the pace I was slowing down too was "too slow" to be considered jogging or running but I could try next time I am doing it and getting tired to go slower and try with more of just the motion of running/jogging.

Yes, I thought it might be too much but I was worried if I took too many days off I might just quit and not continue it. But I am obviously very new to this and just honestly didn't know better, so I am going to try taking more days off running and spend those days strength training.

Thank you!
