A day on Venus lasts about 243 Earth days. As a result, it's possible to outpace the sun's path in the sky simply by walking. Assuming the skies on Venus were clear, and you never got tired of walking, you could theoretically watch the sun set forever.https://goo.gl/qdUcEn
I don't think you'd have to move that much to keep the sun in the same place in the sky, as the distance between the sun and Venus reduces parallax.

I was just dividing circumference by 243 (roughly), to get the miles per earth day needed to get around once in a Venus day.

I see. Yeah, you'd probably have to factor in a lot more than that, such as distance between sun and Venus, axial tilt, orbital period, orbital eccentricity, etc.
