You are doing great getting your runs in. I think everyone is slowing down/feeling sluggish in this heat (and humidity). Just keep on plugging away! It looks like your shorter runs are a bit faster which is what I always try for. Knowing I am not going as far I push myself a bit harder on those runs.
New shoes is a tough call. I think I need some new ones soon too. I was hoping to just rebuy the pair I have cheaper somewhere else (I was fitted at a running store) but I am wondering if I shouldn't try something else. Personally for myself I will probably always spend the money and go to a running store BUT that is because I am old and have to take care of my old bones more than you young kids do. (although I am sure you could argue that taking care of them now is just as important....but just the way I think about myself now vs. how I did years ago). This was only my second time going to a running store and before then I purchased shoes like you said you did.
