We do get slower as we age.Also weather and weight can be factors. How much are you running? You may need to slow down all of your runs except one time per week do some faster intervals. Most people run their slow runs too quickly which wears them out for the fast days which are the days that hare supposed to help make you faster overall.

@Kerrmit84 I would suggest making one of those runs longer and slower and one of them shorter but with some intervals. Starting at one minute with two minutes of slow recovery, and each week increase the load by adding more intervals, making them longer or reducing the duration of the recovery period. You may need to do the long run on the weekends if you are squeezed for time at lunch. It should be a full hour and go up from there. After a few weeks of doing this you will notice that your regular short run will be faster than it is right now.
