Dressed perfect - cold at first, but then I warmed up comfortably
Entire run felt smooth

Hey Nora, cool blog!
I'm writing you hoping to give you constructive advice. It seems your runs suggest you're probably stagnating a bit because you're running your regular runs too fast and too often at the same speed. As a newer runner myself (started on 2010) I made the same mistake.
I switched to track work (at 5k pace or faster) once (now twice) a week and then added speed work into my weekly long run (eg: repeats at goal pace interspersed with active/jogging recovery) and then I do the rest at whatever speed my legs feel like running for the whole run (often between 9:00-10:00 pace). I don't care about the pace during these runs, just that: I'm running, not stopping often, and get in a good amount of time. If I'm feeling antsy, I'll add some striders at the end to get my heart rate up.
Sincerely trying to be constructive, as you've got some good speed already. Just thought I'd share something that worked on my end.
