How do I return to my old run time?

I use to be in the military and got out 3 years ago. Back then I was running 3 miles in about 19 min. Ever since I got out I never really kept up with that time and now run 3 miles in about 25 min. What would be the best way to get back down to my 19 min time? Thanks.... :D

What are your best soreness stories?

How much is mental preparation important for the run?
