Smell of Bukit Tunku

Fresh feeling I can say, as I log this down, excited enough after logging my first official long-slow-distance run. It was 6 months ago, we ran here every Saturday, following Hal's program for our first marathon appearance. The Bukit Tunku route is an all time favourite for weekend LSDs.

After our Subuh prayer in Bukit Aman mosque, we assembled at the parking lot. Three failed to turn up, only six left. Supposed with nine buddies, we sure had the road sealed. Anyway, with some of us being season runners and a few decided to take running to the next level, we paced ourselves nicely towards Jalan Duta. Sight of other runners along the way felt like it was homecoming. Vista of Tijani's awesome architecture was stunning. Smell of green habitats from the Tunku neighbourhood was refreshing. Everthing was awesome.

The milage was kept at no more than 10k with option to add a few more at Lake Garden. After checking with buddies, we decided to turn back, split up & paced up to cover the Lake Garden loop. With less milage on the legs eversince Salomon, I gave it a chase, pounding the tarmac and my heart out. Pom! Pom! Pom! It almost sounded like kompang orang kawin la! Hahaha!

OK. It went well until we reached Lake Garden playground. It was always a dejavu when we attempted this loop in the later part of LSD. Always! The mental kacau syndrome. The lake loop was only about 3k but the clairvoyant synched really tore us apart. Hahaha! We decided to take a detour, a Christmas sale discount & climbed the stairs to the memorial & back to carpark. Aiyo!

Felt fresh from the run. Best part was, it's 8.30am. Generous enough for a chat over kuew teow Tangling & teh-O suam before we departed, looking forward for future mission to Sri Hartamas.
