Woman runs marathon, has baby a few hours later

[bemildred]

Amber Miller, 27, completed all 26 miles of the Chicago marathon Sunday, and then gave birth to a healthy baby girl about seven hours later. She was 38 weeks and five days pregnant.

And if you're thinking Miller delivered a small baby, think again. Baby June Audra weighed in at 7 pounds, 13 ounces.

“The race was definitely easier than labor,” Miller said at a news conference at Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield, Ill., on Monday morning, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

Sunday's marathon was Miller's eighth, and the second one she has run while pregnant. She completed a marathon when she was 17-weeks pregnant with her first child.

That was in the 1970's

Amber Miller, having completely shown up every other human as "unworthy," is now the enemy of all men (and certainly ALL women) on earth.... :evilgrin:

3. Holy !!!!!

'Miller felt contractions a few minutes after finishing the Chicago marathon Sunday and gave birth hours later to a daughter.'

'"Is this normal? Obviously not," said James Pivarnik, a professor of kinesiology and epidemiology.'
