Bible Reading Progress

I've posted a couple times before about my new plan for reading through the New American Standard Bible in one year.

One month ago I was quite far ahead of plan, way far ahead on two tracks, and a little behind on the two other tracks. At that time I had completed 30 percent of the Bible, enough to finish in only seven months if I were to keep up that pace.

Here's my cumulative progress to date, through three months:

Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4
OT History OT Prophecy OT Wisdom New Testament
302 chapters 154 chapters 69 chapters 90 chapters
212 chapters ahead 64 chapters ahead 21 chapters behind exactly on track

I've read a total of 615 chapters, which is just over half the Bible. At this pace, I should finish in six months, or around the end of May.

Because I'll finish Track 1 shortly, I can start doubling up on Track 3, where I'm a little behind. But I'm worried that even if I tack Job and Proverbs onto the end of Track 1, I may not finish even the Psalms at the end of six months, because I'm not even half way through that one book. I don't really like to read more than one Psalm per day; but the later ones are shorter.
