The Earth is rotating at a rate of about 1000mph, which in turn is orbiting the Sun at about 67,000mph, which in turn is orbiting the centre of the galaxy at about 42,000mph, which in turn is moving towards 'the Great Attractor' at about 1,500,000mph.Hold on to your seat.

You must specify a reference point or your question is meaningless. The universe does not contain an absolute reference point. Or, you could consider that you are receding from the edge of the observable universe at just shy of the speed of light.
