Trying to improve my running

I wanted to go further today and went further up the hill on wade then usual. I felt really good at first. The second mile uphill (3rd mile) was pretty slow but no pain. Later in the day i had some hip soreness. I am not sure what that is about. I did bike on the stationery bike for 40 min on Saturday and it was feeling sore after that. Here are my splits: 7:58, 8:44, 9:00, 8:09, 8:24 and 8:21.

Thought I should take it easy today so I only did an easy 2 miles. AP 8:19.

Nice run today up wade road. I drove to start the run so that I could go further uphill the last part of this run is pretty steep. It was good and a beautiful area to run in. The first 2 uphill miles were only a 2% grade. However, the last .44 miles was an average 4% grade and was even steeper than that at parts. 

Elevation gain 289

AP: 8:28 

Just did a couple of miles nice and easy this AM.

2.39 miles 

AP: 8:30 

Got home a bit early so thought I would do a couple more miles since I won't be able to run tomorrow. I did these in my barefoot shoes

2.95 miles

AP: 8:31 

What a beautiful run today. I wanted to get a couple of things done go for a "long run", do some trail running, and get some elevation. This was perfect. I did the run I have done several times up camino del cerro. the first 2.7 miles were on the road which is fairly steep at times. Then there is a trailhead at the top of the road and I took that for another 2.6 miles. The trail was much different than running on the pavement. My time was much slower. It was a lot steeper than I am used to additionally having to deal with moving rock and uneven terrain slowed me down a bunch. It was really fun though. I think I am going to try and do a good amount of off road running coming up.

Here are my splits:
