Should I count the extra miles I put in with my dog and girlfriend? On my non-hardwork out days (tempo, intervals, ect...) I will usually go 10-12miles in the morning at 6:20-6:30 pace. In the afternoon I will take my dog on a 2-3mile run and he can only go 8min pace or I go workout with my girl at the same pace for 3-4miles. Would you count these miles as part of the MPW if you feel like your not getting anything out of it?
Of course, it is still a stress on the body no matter how slow you go. Just because you don't think you are getting anything out of it doesn't mean you shouldn't count it-because your body is counting it.
Sure it counts, but you should try dating a human.

1: count the miles
2: non hard work days are at 6:20? too fast!! slow down a minute per mile.
3: use your short and mid-tempo runs and intervals to push your systems.
4: do one long run at a pace that is 30 seconds off your 5k time.
You may be putting your body under too much stress with all non-hard work you're doing.
but if its working and you're still reducing your PBs, what do I know?
MADE MY DAY!!! HAHAHAHA
Yes, you should count the miles. It's the aerobic development that matters. I made a few posts on here a month or two ago about how I log my cycling miles as running miles - this is because the aerobic benefits are similar. My rules is 25 miles cycling=6 miles running. So, when I do a 50-mile ride, I write "12 mile run" in my training log.
First off, I say count them all and then let God sort them out...Secondly, what kind of worthless, lazy, good for nuthin', runt of a dog do you run with - a dachshund?
