Sariah has just begun training for a half-marathon, which is 13.113.1 miles. Since she was on vacation, she started the training program later than the rest of her running club. There are 66 weeks of training runs remaining before the race.

In her first week of training, Sariah ran 33 miles. She ran 4.54 miles the second week and 66 miles the third week. If she continues to increase the length of her runs the same way, will there be enough time left in the training program for her to get up to half-marathon distance?
