Our Most Disgusting Marathon Pictures, with New Additions

Pain: It's fun!!

​Last year, to celebrate (?) the Houston Marathon, we found five of the most disgusting pictures of marathoners the Web had to offer.

In a continuing spirit of benevolence, we dug up some more this year.

Marathoners are known to run through anything, so these pictures feature plenty of bodily fluids you might not want to deal with at breakfast. If the phrase "bloody nipples" gets your stomach turning, these aren't for you.

But if you want to salute the effort, determination and insanity of marathon runners, feast your eyes on these. We'll start with last year's five, then add our new discoveries.

5. Bleeding nipples
They can make strong men cry. And everyone else cringe.

​4. Peeing
We guess if you've told yourself you're not going to stop and use a porta-potty, it's probably a good idea to just let it go through the shorts as opposed to taking them down. Although why she just didn't let fly while she was still running, we'll never know. It would be like the marathoner's version of tubing on the Guadalupe.

3. Vomit
This one we can understand. Although maybe we can't understand doing it so publicly. And we can only assume carbo-loading is the reason for the nuclear-yellow tint of what's coming out of the mouth.

​

2. Blood
So she scraped her knee, what's the big deal? Well, actually, this is a somewhat famous picture of Uta Pippig, and she is winning a race despite having a quite flowing period going on at the time. If you want to look closely at the crotch, you can see.
