“Of course, my feet were killing me.”

—AMBER MILLER, a Chicago-area woman, on competing in the Chicago marathon on Sunday, nearly 39 weeks pregnant. "I ran half and walked half, that's how I finished," she said. Miller, who had been running throughout her pregnancy, said she started having contractions "just randomly" during the race, but still managed to cross the finish line and grab a sandwich before heading to the hospital to give birth hours later. Her final stats: Race time — 6 hrs., 25 mins., 50 secs. (faster than her husband!). Baby girl, June — 7 lbs., 13 oz., born at 10:29 p.m. "I'm taking it easy today," Miller said on Monday.
