What happened to Shay Sorrells' Biggest Loser Subway marathon challenge?

The Biggest Loser season eight contestant Shay Sorrells appeared on the finale of the ninth season to cash in on an offer from Subway to earn money for her ongoing weight loss and for running a marathon, but she was absent from the 10th season’s finale, and it doesn’t look like we’ll learn what happened with her efforts at the end of season 11, either. At the end of season eight, Subway bribed Shay to lose more weight, offering her $1,000 for each pound she lost. She lost 52 pounds , as the show revealed at the end of season nine, and Subway then offered her the chance to train for a marathon with Jared, their mascot. But at the end of season 10 in December, Shay wasn’t there, and there was no word of her marathon. She posts to Twitter frequently , and in November, wrote about Jared running a marathon, but didn’t mention herself. However, she posted on Facebook in December, starting with this : “I already did 2 finales! Cant keep showing up hogging the scale! Lol! Running my marath...

Cancer-free Ethan Zohn finishes the New York City marathon in 4:16

After being unable to run in the New York City marathon last year because he was being treated for cancer, Survivor Africa winner Ethan Zohn ran the 26.2 mile race Sunday and finished in 4:16:08, a pace of 9:48 per mile and an impressive time for anyone, never mind someone who one year ago was undergoing radiation and a stem cell transplant at a hospital he ran past yesterday. (Hilariously, before the race, he told the New York Daily News, “I don’t know whether I should flick it off or give it a big hug. Like, ‘Hey I hate you cancer, but I love you [Sloan] for saving my life,’ It’s a double-edged sword.”) Ethan ran as part of a team formed to raise money for his charity Grassroot Soccer, and that group included several reality stars, including actors Scott Wolf and Donal Logue, and CBS reality stars Brennan Swain, Ian Rosenberger, and Chad Crittenden.
