I haven't posted for a while but I've still been running. I have been really busy lately so have only been able to run twice a week. I've also been plagued with stich, it was so bad the other day it stopped me and doubled me over, no way could I run through it. Today I tried not eating or drinking before running and although I had no stich I found the run really hard due to no fuel.
I felt like I ran way slower than normal so I pushed myself to run further. I have been running around 4k in 35 mins and today I managed 4.5k in 40 mins. It is a month since I graduated and the 5k is in my sight, just slightly out of reach, but I'm getting there.

Just take things at your own pace, the stitch is often my sign to slow down a bit, I think you took the right approach. Well done on your graduation & for keeping the running up. Why not try & mix another exercise in somehow to your day if the third run is out of reach. I had to cut to 2 for a while this year, life gets busy! The fitter we are the better our running form will be when we do get out there for a run x
I always have a small banana and a large glass of water about 15 minutes before I go running. I find this definitely helps. Also, are you pushing out your stomach when you breathe in? That helps too
