DAY 24 Tanjung Malim to Slim River (Malaysia)



After taking a day-off, my right knee feels a little better, but I'm still far from being back to normal.


A mix of brisk walking and running. I still have trouble putting weight on my right leg.


Short distances today and tomorrow.


Started just after 7 AM.


Traffic increased as lunchtime approached.


Yesterday was Hari Raya, the end of Ramadan, so it's holiday season.


There are more passenger cars than large vehicles like trucks.


Highway 1 has some sections without paved shoulders, making it difficult to run.


Many cars show respect to the buggy, slowing down and passing at a safe distance.


By just after 10 AM, the sun was intense. It wasn't just hot; the heat felt like it was piercing my skin, almost painful. Bus stops were perfect resting places. It was quite cool in the shade with a breeze.


After a break at FamilyMart, an elderly woman wearing a hijab gave me a 5 ringgit donation in front of the store. I was very grateful.


Today's run was a short distance, about the length of a half marathon. I finished running a little after 1 PM and was waiting to check into the hotel.


I needed to take precautions against heatstroke and rest my knees, and while I had some leeway in my schedule, it was still a bit disappointing that it ended so quickly.


The hotel reception is on the second floor. Once again, I had to fold up the stroller and carry it upstairs.


The air conditioner in my room was so old that it was only blowing fan air. No matter how low I turned the temperature, the air was still lukewarm.
