Good Week & Next 2 Week's running plan

I had a pretty good week of running, with no pain.  Good news. To recap: 

Monday: Power Yoga, 2 miles 
Tuesday: Pre-Run Yoga, 3.4 miles
Wednesday: Pre-Run Yoga, 3.5 miles - with a 5 min tempo (~7:00 mile pace), and then finished workout with the Yoga Fit Challenge Video. 
Thursday: 2 miles easy. 
Friday: Recovery Yoga and walked about 2 miles (shins hurt a bit on Thursday, so I opted to take the day off from running)
Saturday: 2 mile walk in the morning, Pre-Run Yoga, and then 3 miles. 
Sunday: Pre-Run Yoga, 4.25 miles 

I plan to do some additional Yoga this evening, since I am feel pretty good and could use a nice stretch. 

Here is my running plan for the next 2 weeks:

Monday: Yoga, 2 miles
Tuesday: 3 miles, easy
Wednesday: 10 minute warm up, 5X400m at ~mile pace with a 400m walk/jog, 1.5 mile warm down
Thursday: 2 miles, easy; Recovery Yoga 
Friday: Day Off
Saturday: 3 miles, easy, Power Yoga
Sunday: 3 - 4 miles, easy, Core Yoga
Monday: 2 miles, easy
Tuesday: 2 miles, easy
Wednesday: 3 miles, easy with strides in the middle of the run
Thursday: 2 miles, easy
Friday: 2 miles, easy

This will bring me up Saturday, June 20 - I will run a 1,500m run at West Valley Joggers and Striders (http://wvjs.org/Workouts.html).  I don't have may goals here, as I don't really know what I can do at the moment.  This will be my first test. 

I am finding my very slow ramp up to fitness is really working well for me.  I look forward to every single run, and my main motivation right now is to stay healthy so I can just keep feeling stronger and healthier every day.
