For the Month of June, I had 19 "normal" runs that didn't include a workout, race, tempo run, or pick ups. All 19 were flat runs in the city of Boston which meant that I did have the advantage of stopping at traffic lights. The average run had about 3 minutes of down time. Below is the chart showing the average mile pace for each mile during those 19 runs. Included in this chart are one 6+ mile run, one 7+ mile run, one 10+ mile run, twelve 11+ mile runs, and four 13+ mile runs.

May 2014:
For the Month of May, I had 24 "normal" runs that didn't include a workout, tempo run, or pick ups. Of those 24, 22 were flat runs in the city of Boston which meant that I did have the advantage of stopping at traffic lights. The average run had about 3 minutes of down time. Below is the chart showing the average mile pace for each mile during those 24 runs. Included in this chart are one 7+ mile run, two 9+ mile runs, and twenty-one 10+ mile runs. I did not include mile pace stats for the 11th mile because the sample size was too small.
My runs always start out a bit faster than I intend, but I have been improving slightly. Miles 1-3 are all faster than the average pace as I try to settle into the run. During miles 4 and 5, I will usually find the pace that I will end up running most of the run at. Mile 6 typically has traffic stops which make it easy to maintain the pace. Mile 7 has a traffic stop and a small downhill in my most common loop. As a result, this mile ends up being about 10 to 15 seconds faster during that run which explains the small dip. Miles 8 and 9 are my slower miles towards the end of the run before I pick it back up for the last mile. For next month, I would like to work on keeping miles 8 and 9 more in line with the average.
