A Sunday long run is a great way to work on some fitness, get your bearings and see some where fascinating that I had never been before. We were in Kuala Lumpur on our way home from a short holiday in Thailand back in 2023 and i could see on google maps that the popular Putrajaya Step were not that far from our accommodation. So I laced up my shoes and I was out the door as early as possible to try and beat the heat and any Sunday crowds that might head to this popular tourist location.

Navigation was not too bad I just needed to followed the lake around for a couple of kilometres then take a bike path that should got me right there.

I had quite a few photo stops which made the run easy even though it was very hot and humid.

There was plenty to see around the man made lake seems it used to be a swampy wetland lands area that had been dammed and had the water controlled at a number of different places.

There was not a lot of wild life but I was right in the middle of a really big city.

Finally at the steps. I was a bit worried running to the top might make to trip home difficult but I just had to take it easy and pretend I was Rocky Balboa.

There was a pretty good view from the top and a nice fountain but I did not hang around long, just enough time for a few photos then it was off re tracing my steps back to our accommodation.
