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.
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!

Angelann and PamH thank you for your compliments. I use pictures because I need them, too. Easier to see what I am trying to do. And the reason I try and help with feedback on fabric choices is because fabric is too expensive these days, and I would not want you to hate your project if you weren't happy with the way the colors fall.
dd I am probably going against everyone's opinions, but will state mine anyway
I would use the green to bind your runner. It is so pretty that I wouldn't want to distract the eye from the centers, pulling attention to the binding instead. 99.9% of the time I use the same fabric on binding that matches the border. Didn't on my table runner because I ran out of border fabric. (Well, be honest, Judy ... I didn't measure right when I picked the fabric.)
