Let A=(3,0)A = (3, 0), B=(5,4)B = (5, 4), C=(0,7)C = (0, 7), and P0=(1,2)P_0 = (1, 2). Define points P1,P2,P3,…P_1, P_2, P_3, \ldots so that AA is the midpoint of P0P1‾\overline{P_0P_1}, BB is the midpoint of P1P2‾\overline{P_1P_2}, CC is the midpoint of P2P3‾\overline{P_2P_3}, AA is the midpoint of P3P4‾\overline{P_3P_4}, and so on, the midpoints cycling through A,B,CA, B, C. Find the distance P0P2026P_0P_{2026}. Give your answer in simplest radical form.
