Try adding a day of rest in between your workouts and in my opinion running that much every single day is just too much unless you are training for the Olympics

I somewhat disagree with aspects of this. Delayed onset of muscle soreness is different for everybody, so the lack of soreness is not necessarily indicative of over training. Recovery is part nutrition/supplementation/rest, and part genetics. You know you're over-training when your recovery isn't optimal; soreness is largely irrelevant. I do agree that muscle growth occurs while asleep, so nutrition and rest are primary if you want to grow.
