Dude, it's the heat and humidity! Those are insane conditions. You must be in decent health to survive that. We are all different, but once you're 60+, you need to moderate. If you get satisfaction from the achievement, that's good. Just don't self destruct trying to do what you could when you were younger. 15 miles is about my limit when it's hot and humid. Could do more if my life depended on it, but since it doesn't...
