it has been running all day and is still running. Any idea why?

The radiator fan relay is stuck. It is located behind the header panel on the right side, below the headlight. It is a pain to get to. To prevent it from draining the battery, you could pull the relay from the fusebox under the hood when the Jeep is parked (remember to reinstall it before you drive).

The SSR (solid state relay) that operates the fan is probably fried. Replaced 3 on our '99 JGC, although you did not say what Jeep you drive.
No, it is not normal, whould expect it to go off in 5-10 minutes, not all day.
Cheers

It's supposed to do that to an extent. Just untill the car cools down.. however if it is running all day? There is something wrong. It will eventually eat the battery. There is a relay or a sensor that has gone kaput somewhere. better have it looked at,

Have the thing checked out. Sounds like a small electrical issue. It is normal for one to run for about 7-10 minutes afterward, but not all day.

It's doing what it is supposed to do. It will continue to cool the engine until the sensor sends a signal to the computer to shut it off after it has cooled to the proper temperature.
