As I work for a trucking company and we do out of state deliveries everywhere, I find I even do that, not 500 miles to Camden, NJ but about 8 hours ride.
"Turn thanks" was a blessing or prayer for food. Confused me first time I heard it.
Yes, I almost always go by hours and not miles. Even when I ask someone how far it is, I'm wanting to know time.
dd, love your runner!
