                 SPEED         TIME            DISTANCE

GOING               6          d%2F6          d

RETURNING           4          d%2F4          d

TOTAL                         d%281%2F6%2B1%2F4%29    2d



The "TOTAL" values shown do NOT include any "resting" time; only time spent while jogging.



Distance%2FTime for the total time and distance is what is wanted.
