    A Response To the Free Bleeding Marathon Runner From the Marathon’s Actual Winner

     

    "That’s like a child playing cup-n-ball being the face of the NBA. Oh, and the child shat himself to break the stigma of shit being gross or something."

     

    lol

     

    Oh, and I have seen enough of her stained crotch FFS.

    Are we there, yet?

      It seems a bit gross, but wouldn't it have been more dramatic if she had not worn tights? Any why red tights rather than white if she really wanted to get awareness?

              OK, this conversation took an odd turn.  Next time someone wants to free bleed, maybe they should check with their men friends on what will show the best. lol

                Said somewhere (her blog maybe?) that she skipped her long runs when she had her period during training  and was therefore worried that a tampon would be uncomfortable. I'm pretty sure she was just unprepared and rather than, I don't know, buying tampons or asking someone for a spare, she opted to go full-on attention whore with it.

                  She might "claim" she did it to raise awareness but it sure seems like she did it as a big "fuck men and anybody who wants me to hide this", and also for the stupid free bleed movement. She sounds like she really enjoyed making others uncomfortable.

                  During the Louisville Kentucky Derby Half, I was so scared that I had actually started that I was trying to discreetly look and see, hoping nothing was running down (thankfully it wasn't that weekend). I would hope that other ladies would have the decency to notice and let one know, but with this shit now going on I am sure they would just assume the unfortunate runner meant to do it

                              If she hadn't made a big deal about this, I bet most people wouldn't have even looked twice at the stains.  There's a lot of nasty going on in most marathons -- sweat, spilled gatorade, people peeing in gatorade bottles, spit, "GI" issues and the like.  I usually try to keep my eyes up.

                              Life is good.

                                 luckily I've only ran one marathon so far and haven't seen the peeing in gatorade bottles, or obvious "GI" issues, or any other really nasty thing but I am sure that I will one day be "lucky" enough to spot it 

                                 

                                I do spot lots of nice butts, and legs and occasionally really nice bodies
