Return Pipe Heats up first

We have a two pipe steam system. Our home has 13 radiators total. With two of the radiators the heat is passed to the raditor from the return pipes. I've monitored this on several occassions and each time the supply pipe begins to heat up then cools off (the supply for both radiators is on the left hand side). Then the return pipe heats up and the radiator gets hot with the heat flowing from right to left.

Is this normal? Should we be worried about incorrect pressure build up or something?

thanks...
