Yesterday, July 6th, was the first day of
San Fermín or Sanfermines in Pamplona, in celebration of
Saint Fermín. As is tradition,
it starts with a rocket, and turns into
a giant, joyous, drunken party in the streets. The
events to follow have changed over the centuries, with the addition of Riau Riau in 1914 (
actual singing,
words and lyrics,
Spanish Wiki page with lyrics) in 1914, and most recently,
leaving of candles and red bandanas at
the Church of San Lorenzo, following the singing of
Pobre de Mi. Oh, and there's
the running of the bulls (
route,

Today is the first
National Running Day in the US, with
events taking place in metropolises like
Boston,
Chicago,
New York,
Minneapolis/St. Paul, and
Houston, as well as smaller communities like
Chautauqua, New York. If you're not comfortable with running, you can try the
Run Walk method, or start your
Couch to 5k schedule. If you're already a runner, you may want to think up some creative ways to
make today even more running-y. [Previously:
