The best place to jog: your neighbourhood

06 Feb

My brother S likes to spend his weekend jogging at a nearby park. Sometimes, he would drive more than 40 minutes into Kuala Lumpur to do that.

I’m one of the luckier people who don’t need to drive to get to the nearest park.

Today, I realise how nifty it is to live in Section Two, Shah Alam. You just have to look at the photos below to get what I mean.

The writer stops to pose for a photo. Check out the running shoes! She's at 63kg when this was taken.

Isn’t it just a wonderful place to have a leisurely walk or a run?

My husband and I went for a short walk/run today. He brought his camera along and captured the romantic view.

The tall trees form a leafy canopy above the head shading all from the hot sun. The land inclines gently from the main road providing a challenge to runners and walkers alike. The residential area is big enough to suit all types of fitness enthusiasts. If you’re looking to walk or run for an hour, all you need is to make two to three rounds round it.

However, I would not recommend running or walking when it is dark outside for security reasons. The tree-lined trees while picturesque in the day can look eerie at night. You never know what is lurking in the dark.

Still, looking at these pictures — there are more on Facebook — I wonder why I didn’t jog here sooner.

I know that I would be more comfortable jogging in the park because of the crowd but Section Two housing area is still a good place to do that. Although it is quiet, it is not completely deserted. There are people in their homes either gardening or playing a game of badminton. So they can keep you company along with your playlist.

I would definitely jog solo around here in the future. Perhaps this coming weekend?

So if you’re looking for a new place to jog and you live in and around Shah Alam, Section Two is worth checking out. If you need a walking partner around here, leave me a message :)

If you don’t live here, just look at your own neighbourhood. I have seen USJ residents jog along the  busy roads at dusk. The USJ Municipal Council running tracks also attract many runners and walkers at night — oh how I envy them!

So you see? You don’t really need to drive very far to get a good walk/run. You can do it in your own backyard — figuratively of course.
