Three miles. Can't go down steps now the doms is horrible. Any advice? Advil has been taken. Tomorrow is uper body. Thursday some sort of muscle stretch?

Soak in a warm bath with epsom salts.
Do a lower-body stretching workout tomorrow, or, if you have a "Stick" or a "Tiger Tail" rollers (or even a rolling pin!) roll over the muscles, gently, after your soak.
Also, try to keep moving regularly: I find that my DOMS feels much worse after I get up from sitting for a while.
(Even though you've been keeping active with intense workouts, every type of activity has its own specific way of using muscles, hence the DOMS after a 3-mile run when you haven't been running for a while).
