We took well over an hour to cover the distance.
At home they would long ago have given him up for dead, by the time he could cover so great a distance.
He won the race and covered the distance in 67 minutes.
He covered the distance back to the house in half the time.
She covered the distance between them on a dead run.
It took him more than an hour to cover the distance.
It took him five minutes to cover half the distance.
Even so, it took him many minutes to cover the distance.
She covered half the distance and began to slo1v down.
It shouldn't have taken them nearly so long to get inside the wall and then to cover the distance back to me.
