Whatever...I have done a 5:45 mile, 12:03 2 mile, and sub 60:00 13k in the military...I would give my LEFT NUT to do a sub 8:00 mile at age 39. I am busting my a$$ to break 9:00 for 3 miles now.

Hmm.  Are you heavier now, or injured?  If you once ran sub-6 min miles then at only 39 (yes, I said 'only') you should be able to do more or less the same.  Unless you really are busting your a$$ -- as Scout said above, most of your running should be easy.  Always busting it will slow you down.

Oh, and you can keep the nut.  No really, it's all yours.

LOL at last line.    Yes, much heavier.  I've lost almost 80 pounds in the last year, and I'm still 30 pounds heavier than the weight where I was running those times.

Weight is one factor.  Volume is another.  If you're doing triathlon training, you are not maximizing your run.  Nature of the beast.

This is the essence of the problem. I used to be a better runner when I wasn't a triathlete...

So the question is, what do you want to be?
