Hi Beverly,
What's your geo area?
I personally prefer treadmill, over street runnng,
as it's much kinder on the body, eg, knees,
overall impact, etc.
As for you speed question, eg, 5 mph, yes,
I think that's perfectly reasonable.
Do what feels appropriate for you ability,
and it will improve over time.
Meanwhile, as Don will explain, you can do short
fartleks, eg, 30 seconds, intermittantly, of accelerating speed,
and then after a while, your natual pace will increase
toward higher speed.
My philosophy: Run at a pace that allows
good form. And do intervals or strides
to achieve a faster pace.
Welcome to the group.
Beward the nasty ones!

Blog, or dog? Who knows.
