Did I complete this penance in an appropriate way?

Undoubted this a Catholic rookie (7 months) question regarding penance. After my confession, I received the penance of one hour of “Our Father”. I completed that over the course of four days in four sessions. Would that be considered acceptable or should it be completed immediately? Thank you, Richard 😃
 
Dear friend,

I truly suspect that your penance was for one Our Father. In my forty-seven years as a priest I have never heard of a person being given a penance of one hour of Our Fathers. I would question the sanity of the confessor if I had.

Rest assured, you have adequately fulfilled your penance.

Fr. Vincent Serpa, O.P.
