Sadly, Sunday's Bank of America Chicago Marathon included a death. Amazingly, it also included the onset of a birth.

Amber Miller was 38 weeks and five days pregnant and was starting to feel contractions as she crossed the finish line. Her daughter June was born at 10:29 p.m. and weighed in a 7 pounds, 13 ounces.

Miller may have a lecture coming from her doctor, who gave her permission to run half of the 26.2-mile race. But when she reached that point she continued on, walking the second half, according to WGN-TV in Chicago.

Even with 45,000 in the field, Miller was noticed as she ran with her husband. "Everybody just kind of stared as I'm running by," Miller told WGN-TV.

The race's victim was a North Carolina firefighter, William Caviness, whom WGN described as a life-long athlete and veteran marathoner. He was running the race to raise money for burn victims but collapsed about 500 yards from the finish line.

It was the race's first death since 2007, and sixth since 1998.
