Personal:

I started more dedicated running and racing in my thirties.  Eventually I developed symptomatic bradycardia and SVT which required a cardiac pacemaker implant and a cardiac cath ablation.  It has taken a long time to get back to running consistently again.  Counting my blessings and trying to remain more balanced with fitness and life.

Long jog on the trail. Heat and humidity bad again. I would have gotten an earlier start, but had to drive one of the kids to a car wash fundraiser at church. Just can't hang in these conditions anymore. No patience for suffering in dehydration.

I'm with you. As someone who spent many years in Florida and South Carolina, I can say that the arid conditions in Utah are awesome. I've become incredibly wimpy when it comes to humidity. When I visit family in Florida all I do is sit around whining saying things like "how can you people live here?"

Nice long run. I'm with you. I don't do well in the heat any more. Keep up the nice running.
