Can someone please revise my summary? Thanks! The author finds that she was pregnant after she signed up for the marathon. Since her first baby was born several weeks before the marathon, she believes the marathon was the cause. Therefore, she thought she may not attend the race. However, before the race day, she didn’t feel any sign of the baby’s arriving. Thus, she decided to run slower than usual, without the intention of breaking the record. During the race, everyone was so supportive and didn’t judge her because of her pregnancy. Finally, she finished the race with her husband. After the race, she felt contractions and they decided to go toward the hospital. It took her four hours to give birth and she thought it was much harder than the marathon. The baby is named June and knows what happened on that day. Therefore, she easily connects giving birth to the marathon. Finally, the author still loves running and wants to challenge a 100km race next time.
