2nd long run

So, today I ran my second long run enroute to training for a 25k held at the end of March. I ran a little over 8 miles today. I wish I could figure out why I run long distances at about the same pace as I run a 5k. I may add a little speedwork into the training, hopefully it will help. My goal for the 25k is to run a faster pace than my 50+ year old boss, who will be running the same race, but he is manlier than I, and will be running the 50 miler. I only wish I had the stamina to run that far. Maybe, by the time I am fifty I will have that much endurance.
