Bruce wanted to run the Shore-to-Shore marathon next month, a 26-mile race from one side of the island where he lived to the other. He decided to work up to 26 miles by running five days a week for the next five weeks. Each day he'd run one mile longer than he did the day before, except for the first day of each week, when he'd run the same number of miles he ran on the last day of the previous week. He wanted his last to practice runs to be 26 and 27 miles long.
How many miles would he have to run on the first practice run?
