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.
