My workplace has this virtual race happening and I am feeling a tad competitive. So, I headed down to the Subang Ria park to walk around with my Nordic sticks.

I am really glad this park exists. Because it is essentially private land, the developer who owns it had always wanted to demolish the park and build a fancy luxury condo around it. But the Subang Jaya community has fought hard to keep it open to the public.

Lately, the park which was really run down during the pandemic, had a face lift. The park now even has a community hall, gazebos and exercise machines and a playground.

I took up Nordic Walking when I had back problems, as it helps you walk without much pain. Now that I am recovered, I still do it as its supposed to burn more calories and help you walk further.

Anyway I am always the only one with sticks around so I don’t know what people must think about me.
