Runner goes the distance to raise funds for Long Path

Here's another: He calls that an easy day.
Over 12 days, five hours and 17 minutes, O'Neill ran from the George Washington Bridge in Fort Lee, N.J., to John Boyd Thatcher Park, just outside Albany. That's 370 miles — the entire length of the Long Path.
He averaged 30 miles a day. A marathon is 26 miles.
