If you don't enjoy running then don't do it. Pick another form of cardio that you find more enjoyable. Cycling is more beneficial for leg development and swimming is more taxing on the entire body.
Don't force yourself to do an activity you despise. Life is too short and there are too many options for you to resort to something "boring and frustrating".

I think you are probably pushing yourself too hard. Imo 5x a week is too much, especially for a beginner. I would give myself a rest day in between runs. In my experience overdoing it is the main reason people don't keep up with fitness.

When you start running you should be running at a pace where you can hold a conversation. Like with someone running next to you. You may be pushing your pace too hard.

No disrespect intended but I think you're doing it wrong. It depends on your goals, what you want to get out of running.
If you want to be fast as hell, then join a track club and do interval training over short distances. You will always be out of breath but if you want to be fast that's what it takes.
If you like it nice and easy, join a distance running club. It's quite social and the runs are usually done at a pace where everyone can have a conversation. You'd be surprised how easy a 10K is when you aren't out of breath all the time. FWIW, you burn *much* more calories this way than you do with the short distance stuff.
So it depends on what you want to achieve with exercise. If you want to be really fast, you need to train hard to do exactly that. If you want to go long instead that's great too. Both have their merits, just know what you want.

I'm not trying to get to a certain mileage per say, I just want to be able to make a 2 mile run after work and not feel like dog shite for 30 minutes afterwards. I figured my body would be some what adapted by now but I haven't seen any improvement. I guess I'll mix it up a bit this next week and see how it goes. Preesh

I listen to books on tape. Takes my mind off the run. Soreness is good. Doesn't sound like your overdoing it. Get fitted for proper shoes for your stance and running style.

Just keep at it. It gets easier.
Push yourself. Pick up the pace. ETA: Juat saw your pace. Slow it down a bit until your feet and shins get better.

Quit the 7.5 miles per minute and run longer 8's for a while. See how you feel then.

I'm gonna buy some new kicks tomorrow and that will hopefully help my feet/legs which is part of why I'm having a hard time.

If you do some Cocaine first you will get a runner's high.

Let me add that in 28yrs of living, I've NEVER been able to touch my toes, sitting or standing. My hamstrings are tighter than a nuns pussy.

Stretch before and after.
It took me a while for my body to adapt.

Someone said earlier to stretch before and after, do that but don't over stretch, easy peasy.

Jogging is very overrated for calories burned.
Go do some H.I.I.T. and you only run for like 5 mins and get a better work out than jogging. Like sprint at 70% for 40 yards, rest 30 seconds, spring 40 yards, rest 30 seconds and repeat until you are spent and on the verge of throwing up. If it is your first time, you probably can only do it 4 or so times.

I thought it had to be a typo. I was about to say. I'm 6'3" and skinny as frick and I'm still a lot more than 125. That's holocaust survivor picture shite.

Thank God! I was worried about you.
My dad was 6'-3", 170ish when he was a young man, and skinny as a rail. At 60 or so, he was maybe 200. MAYBE...
After I got out of college, would rag on me that even though he was 30 years older, he still weighed less than I did. I would tell him that I was 2" taller and has some muscle mass.
He was ~123 lbs when he died (complications from lung cancer) and was nothing but skin and bones.
