Miller accomplished two monumental feats last weekend. Days from her
due date, the 27-year-old joined 45,000 other runners to participate in
Sunday’s Bank of America Chicago Marathon and then gave birth to a baby
girl named June hours later. Miller, an avid runner, said she signed up
for the 26.2-mile race before finding out she was pregnant. She said she
never expected to finish the race, but she did. Miller and her husband
started the run and just kept on going. They ran part of the race and
walked the second half as her contractions started. It took them 6.5
hours to finish. At 7 pounds, 13 ounces, baby June entered the world at
10:29 p.m. Sunday, just hours after mom and dad crossed the finish line.
