You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let the x-axis be time and the y-axis be distance from home.
--------------------
pace means slope when you are graphing.
--------
So start a line at (0,0)
Let it have some positive slope to the right.
Then at some point increase the slope.
That disjointed line models the situation described.
