Default Radiant Heat - Boiler Working Overtime?

Folks,

We have a 1200 sq ft full basement that we're heating via radiant heat.
There are 4 runs of Pex. We're very happy with it but I'm worried that
there is something wrong with the system. When the basement calls for
heat the pump turns on and I can see the temperature gauge go up to
around 100-110 degrees. There's no gauge on the return but feeling the
Pex it's obvious that the water coming back is pretty cool. The
problem: It takes at least an hour, sometimes 2, for the basement to
warm up enough that the thermostat stops calling for heat. 1200 sq ft
is a lot of concrete to heat up but isn't that a long time?

Any thoughts much appreciated.

Thanks, Bill
