27/6/21 ^^^The lure of running Bukit Kiara Hill Run

As I said before, this is a long run. If I'm already running for 21 years, then I should endure for another 21 years.

The good news is 4 years is really a very short run.

Suppose I assume 1 year is 1 km. Then 4 years is only a 4 km run.

It is just nice for me to physically train for the 21 km Bukit Kiara Hill Run. It is not just another run. It is a run of form and function.

I should do a 10 km/hour run. So I am looking at a 2-hour run. That will be a strong run. If I can do it in 2 hours, I don't need to run a marathon ever again. I just focus on 8, 15, and 21 km runs. Anything but a marathon.

The training for a 4 hours marathon is too demanding for my knees. On top of that, I really like 21 km. I can still run fast and it is quite a distance.

21 km is a sweet distance. Something I should do at least once a year especially the Bukit Kiara Hill run. That will be my personal trophy.

I cannot think of a better place to run other than Bukit Kiara. The undulating surface is really the beauty of the route. I cannot find anything like that elsewhere.

Bukit Kiara route is really sweet.

It starts with a 1 km climb. That alone i[t] (is) the lure. That is riding on Darkness's tail. If you survive that, the rest of the journey is really very sweet.

The whole route is pretty much like a roller coaster ride. The loop is 2 km in diameter. Perfect... I wish I can do Bukit Kiara more often.

Maybe I do a once-a-week 11 km run. It is a very demanding route. If I make it once a week, then I am truly the King of Bukit Kiara. Normally people will do the 5 km variant (2 loops).

I never heard anybody do 21 km before.

That will be very exciting. That will be my personal trophy.

I like to envision I do 21 km every quarter. I can imagine my fitness level if I can achieve that.

Hill run is very satisfying. Unlike running on a flat surface, a hill run uses all your muscles including your core.

 #traxxfm  I am counting my blessing Habibi.  Here is the deal; if I can run Bukit Kiara 11 km once a week, I don't want anything else.  I had done it before.  Nothing compares to the feeling.  Especially when I sprinted the last slope.

A perfect running route.

 #traxxfm  Of all the names, my schooner is named Atalanta.  Atalanta is the Greek goddess of running; she was a swift-footed huntress. She was abandoned in a forest by her father who was disappointed that she wasn't a boy.
