...and their women are as strong as camels


Chicago is a tough town, and so are its citizens, including those who inaccurately used to be called "the weaker sex."

The Associated Press reports: CHICAGO (AP) — Amber Miller felt contractions just minutes after crossing the finish line at the Chicago Marathon. A few hours later, the suburban Chicago woman — who slogged her way through 26.2 miles while nearly 39 weeks pregnant — delivered a healthy baby girl.

"For me, it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. I was running up until that point anyway," Miller told The Associated Press in an interview from the hospital where she was recovering Monday
.

Ms. Miller, 27, added somewhat unnecessarily "I am crazy about running."
