5 Of Our Favorite Photos From The Running Of The Bulls

Then, you have the athleticism of running down narrow streets with thousands of other revelers.  And finally, there's the mental toughness of actually participating in an event that could lead to a bull's horn gorged into any number of places in your body. Yikes. With that being said, let's take a look from afar at five of our favorite photos from this week's Running of the Bulls...
