I think that you need to quit listening to music via headphones on a short run and get your SA on track before someone runs you over, intentionally, or otherwise.
If you were on sandy trails doing a 12 mile ruck, it might make sense, but not for less than a half hour.
I would not run with any extra weight, We are not going to ask you to do that very often, and it tears your body down, rather than building it up.
Pick up the pace, instead, or work on a kick.
Lots of posts here about running and training, check them out for ideas.
Good luck!
