Woman gives birth after running Chicago Marathon
CHICAGO - October 10, 2011
A few hours after completing the 26.2-mile race Sunday, the
suburban Chicago woman gave birth to her daughter, June.
The 27-year-old is an experienced marathoner who found out she
was pregnant after signing up for the race months ago. She figured
she'd play it by ear on whether or not she'd run.
Miller was nearly 39 weeks pregnant by Sunday. She got clearance
from her doctor to half run and half walk the race.
She finished in 6 hours and 25 minutes, much slower than her
previous seven marathons.
Miller spoke to The Associated Press from the hospital and says
she received encouraging cheers during the race and never felt bad,
except for some feet blisters.
