Alysia Montano

Montano runs the 800-meter race during the U.S. Track and Field Championships at eight months pregnant. She maintaines a steady pace while hauling an extra 30 pounds. Montano manages to clock in at 2:32.13, with a roaring audience ovation to carry her to the finish line.

I’ve been running throughout my pregnancy and I felt really, really good during the whole process. I just didn’t want to get lapped and be the first person to get lapped in the 800.
