I had noted last year (april 2009) that I went for a 14 miles run/walk with my wife, which took 3 hours to complete. And that I would try to cut that time to 2hrs 30 min by year's end.
In any case in september 2009, I went out for 13 miles twice.
The first time on september 6th, I reach the 6.5 miles mark at 60 minutes, and finished the 13 miles in 145 minutes (2 hours 25 minutes)
The second time on september 18th, I reach the 6.5 miles mark at 57 minutes, and finished the 13 miles in 129 minutes (2 hours 9 minutes)
My goal is to be able to finish the 13 miles in 2 hours. Which I still haven't accomplish.
Of course, the other day my 14 years old son went and ran 12 miles at 7 minutes/miles for the first 8 miles, and ran the last 4 miles at 6:45, for a total time of 83 minutes (1 hours 23 minutes). He runs cross-country for the high school varsity team, but it sure makes my time looks awfully slooow.
