ALAMEDA COUNTY, CA — On Saturday morning, an Alameda man completed an astonishing journey: running the entire length of every street in Alameda County. Over the years, he covered 16,000 streets, displaying a level of human determination that is hard to fathom.

Chris Thom's journey began when he moved to Alameda and began running through the streets to check out his new city. But then he discovered an app that tracks where a runner has been. And that's when he set his goal to run every street in the entire county.

"That website kind of drove me to keep going," he said. "I started with Oakland. That took me over a year to finish, and then it just kind of went from there."
