A Walk In The Park

Photo laden post! 

A walk in the park, at Taman Wawasan in Putrajaya. A great place for some hill training, especially if you are a running noob like me and would rather not let people (other runners) see you wheezing and panting while doing it.

The park is located right at the other side of the lake of this

Plenty of stairs to tackle, if you are so inclined. Heh. This, I call the first level.

From the second level, there are 150 steps to climb! It's not a steep climb though, if that's any consolation. ;p

OK... 70 steps to go out of that 150 steps. Easy peasy. Yeah, right...

Or if you hate stairs, you can always start from here... going up

and up, here's a view at a junction after a 200m(?) climb from the start.... you got this if you go to the left

or a less strenuous climb if you choose to go to the right

but you still have a few hundred metres of up to go.

and this you can enjoy too if you walk along the hilly road... up, down, up, down

there's a bit of trail too. Nice to do in the morning, but in the evening - a bit too eerie for my taste. Not to mention, closer encounter with mozzies. o.O

Very steep climb (or downhill) - here. Almost like a 45 degree climb. *pant pant* We figured it's a about 200m of steep climb from the bottom to the first flat area on the hill here.

Gawd... what Lina found along the route and can't resist being unclassy about it and all.

The bottom of the hill has a picturesque and flat route for runners, cyclists and walkers to enjoy. Though you do see a lot of "rempits" too here and occasionally a car or two whizzing past dangerously fast. @.@

Plenty of places to take a rest or have a picnic.

Fast cars whizzing by....

We didn't cover all the hilly route and only walked 3.8km. On Monday, Raimie actually managed a 6km walk here with his Dad.

After the walk, we went here

and makan this.

RM15 for adults and RM5 for kids for all you can eat durian, mangosteen and rambutans and they throw in a bottle of mineral water too. Great deal.
