Day 5...Running of the Bulls

Day five of eight are now complete and fortunately there was not a repeat of yesterday and the day ended with 5 people sustaining minor injuries and no gorings. The bulls which ran today belonged to breeder Dolores Aguirre, famed for producing hefty, strong animals. The largest of the six bulls weighed a tiny 1,378 pounds. Good Lord that is big!

Fact of the Day: The distance of the run is about a half of mile and takes under 3 minutes to complete.

Pictures of the Day:
I am guessing this guy is saying something worse than, "Oh geez, oh geez, oh geez..." in his head.

I have a good friend, Dave Hansen, back in Cedar Falls that enjoys climbing walls, buildings, or whatever looks fun. I would guess this would be Dave at the Running of the Bulls.

Come on Jess, I know you want to. You are training for a marathon and this run is only a half mile. Just forget that there are 6-12 1000 lb. bulls chasing you.
