Touchdown

I ran 3000 yards this morning!

3000 yards x 3 feet/yard = 9000 feet

9000 feet x 2 (there and back) = 18000 feet

18000 feet/3.2 (feet/meter) = 5625 meters

5625 meters / 1000 (meters/km) = 5.625 kms

Darn I liked Dad's first answer of 11km better, even the modified 8km was alright... but 5.625? I must be darn near the slowest runner evar... I'm not even going to tell you how long it took me. I think I'm going to start keeping track of how far it *felt* like I ran instead, that is much more gratifying.

So uh, anyone want to redo my math and come up with an answer that says I ran more than a measly 5.625 kms? Please?

    and it says 3000yd = 2.743km!! Now what? LOL I hate to be the one telling you you even ran less than 5.625km...but you're too far away to kill me anyway. ;-)
