Wait for R1 to clear and move forward / to your right (approx toward pitcher). As Scott alludes to, angle is FAR more important than distance on this play, but if you can gain distance it will help you a bit (and probably looks better to anyone who cares about it). If you can get to the holding area behind the pitcher, that's about as good as you can hope for (and you're in better position for other potential developing plays).
