Thousands ran in Sunday's 26-mile Chicago Marathon, but one woman was carrying something extra. Twenty-seven year old Amber Miller was 39 weeks pregnant, but finished the marathon by running and walking. A few hours later, she gave birth to a healthy 7 pound 13 ounce girl. Miller had gotten an OK from her OB/GYN to run/walk in the marathon.
Her husband also ran the marathon, but finished behind his wife. “Without training for it, he actually got a little bit behind,” Miller said. “But he was out there with me.” Hee hee hee!
