As of 8:04 p.m., John O’Connor was halfway through the first leg of his insanely long run.
O’Connor made it halfway from Boston to Hopkinton in 2 hours and 31 minutes, he said.
“We’re just looking at a five-hour marathon right now,” he said.
O’Connor spotted one of his co-workers cheering him on, which helped boost his already high spirit.
