Hillman, author of "Mozos: A Decade Running with the Bulls of Spain," told Reuters, "The psychological burden of being seriously injured like that is a struggle. When I first got gored in 2014, I did contemplate giving it up because I was not able to break through that sort of block that I had, that sort of fear of dying and serious injury, but I slowly worked through it and I was able to get through it and I actually started to run better than ever."
