It’s raining as I wake up this morning, so I decide that I am going to head into town for some shopping. Funnily enough, the minute I decide to do that and have a coffee, the weather breaks and it turns into a lovely fresh morning, so I change my plans and decide to go for a jog instead…
I head out towards the Hartamas shopping centre that I stumbled across earlier and then head through an area called Sri Hartamas and try to work out how to get over / under the Lebuhraya Sprint motorway to join the road back to my place to form a loop. I am mixing walking with running as it’s very hilly, I don’t really know where I am going, it is incredibly hot, there are a lot of hills and it is really hilly. I guess being hilly should not have been a surprise really - there is a clue in this area's name: Mont Kiara...Anyway, after taking my life into my hands and running across 3 to 6 lanes of traffic, I actually manage to find the route back home OK and complete a circuit of about 7 km, in about an hour (I was walking some of it) and I really hope to improve on that drastically.
I must set off earlier too, as by the time I reach home (literally dripping in sweat) it’s about 11.30 am and the sun is searing. I must have looked like a lunatic running outside up and down hills. I think the concierge security guards think I am bit mad.
I start to get a headache and I guess that I am completely dehydrated… Oops!
