It has been a unusual yet good week for running so far. 13km completed of my 20km goal and my legs are holding up. Unusual because last week the shin splints were back and I had only run 13km total over a longer period of time. As an update my current plan has me running 5 days a week (Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, & Thursday) although currently not at very long distances.
Still walking parts of the 6km route, although that was in part due to getting a nasty case of chaffing of which I will have to investigate how to overcome should it become a repeat offender. Still hating the hills, particularlly the short yet steep hill right at the end of my 4km circuit. Assuming I have no unexpected problem completing my 20k goal this week the next plan is to phase out the 3km route and do two 6km runs for the following week. Setting a 24km/week goal.

Still I wouldn't push it that hard, unless you've been running for years, running everyday is what most experienced runners don't advise beginners or people who haven't ran for a long time, re-starting again to do.
Rest days are just as important.
Also, people who run marathons tell me, don't increase your mileage by more than 10% a week. So even if you managed to finish your 20km goal this week, 22km would be the max.
That is, if you prefer not to have injuries.
But hey, I'm just saying. I'm sure you've got it all figured out. :P
