Not taking into account movement forward/backward, and with an admittedly very crude measurement method, the total path is roughly 174,875 km. If you took a 7.4 hr flight every day for 28 days straight*, you could possibly beat the moon. Probably give a Taylor Swift a run for her money, too.

*If you only did "work days", you'd have to fly 10.3 hours a day.
