Run easy is an oxymoron.
What is it about running that scares people so much? Why do people feel they have to put friendly modifiers next to running so everyone can feel good about it? Well, here’s the ugly truth everyone shouldn’t feel good about running. It’s hard! It hurts running requires sacrifice and heart and guts. Any attempt to water it down with feel-good adjectives is a slap in the face to those of us who still hold running sacred. In fact, if you’re running easy, odds are you’re not running at all. You’re jogging so do us all a favor, don’t run easy. Run hard. Run like an animal. ~ Pearl Izumi
Mt. Pico De Loro
“Take nothing but pictures, kill nothing but time, leave nothing but foot prints.”
This is the mountaineer’s creed and to live up to this phrase is not as easy as it may sound. Litter, vandal, and campfire traces have degraded several trails and campsites in Mt. Pico de Loro, the highest peak in Cavite. To lessen the impact of weekend trekkers on Mt. Pico, declared as Cavite’s Protected National Park, the De La Salle University-Dasmariñas Mountaineering Society (DLSU-DMS) geared up and held a Trail Restoration Activity on February 26-27, 2011. DLSU-DMS also closed those trails where mountaineers usually get lost.
With this effort, DLSU-DMS hopes that visitors climbing Mt. Pico will live up to the mountaineer’s creed – bring their trash down and “leave no trace.”
