Life’s a marathon for Sun Sports’ GM

Roger Simmons, April 17, 2007

Orlando’s Sun Sports and Fox Sports Net Florida GM Cathy Weeden did something crazy Monday.

In near 40-degree weather, with it raining and the wind blowing so hard it was difficult to even stand up, she went running — for 26 miles and 385 yards. Weeden competed in the Boston Marathon. She completed the course in 4 hours, 20 minutes.

It was quite an accomplishment considering the course and the elements, but wasn’t nearly as tough as the battle she successfully waged with cancer. Sentinel columnist David Whitley has the full story.
