When I read this story about a woman giving birth after the Chicago Marathon this past Sunday, I had two initial thoughts:
- Which was harder: completing the marathon or giving labor?
- Whoa… she ran at an 11 or 12 minute mile pace? That’s my pace during long slow runs and I’m just carrying myself!
From the video interview, it looks like running the marathon nearly 39 weeks pregnant was easier than the labor for Amber Miller.
All I know is that the next time I’m running long, if I even think about complaining I’m going to say this to myself: “Push through, Hey. If a pregnant woman can do this, so can you.”
And then I’ll go ahead and eat for two afterwards.

the last line about eating for two anyways – hilarious.
