Chicago Sun-Times said:Despite being almost 39 weeks pregnant when she hit the starting line of the Chicago Marathon, Miller ran through labor contractions and the unusually warm 77-degree day to finish the race. She delivered a healthy daughter about 7 1/2 hours later.

The world's oldest marathon runner is Fauja Singh, also known as the "Turbaned Tornado".
As of 2021, Fauja Singh is 110 years old and holds the record for being the oldest person to complete a full marathon.
Fauja Singh completed his first full marathon at the age of 89 in 2003, making him the oldest person to do so at the time.
According to Fauja Singh, his secret to longevity and running is a healthy vegetarian diet, positive attitude, and regular exercise.
Fauja Singh has completed nine full marathons, including the London Marathon, Toronto Waterfront Marathon, and the New York City Marathon.
