I haven&#8217;t sweat that profusely since my Rim2River2Rim at the Grand Canyon last October. Nevertheless, it was fun. The heat was oppresive and slowed me down, but it was fun to run in an environment from a past life &#8211; wondering what life would have been like if I had discovered running and trail-running back when I lived there.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<!-- iframe plugin v.6.0 wordpress.org\/plugins\/iframe\/ -->\n<iframe height=\"405\" width=\"590\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/662552442\/embed\/d43487fb41690b2704640cec00b2de837a9e3f70\" class=\"iframe-class\"><\/iframe>\n\n<figure id=\"attachment_1849\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1849\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/20160802_215318656_iOS.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1849 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/20160802_215318656_iOS-1024x768.jpg?resize=640%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"20160802_215318656_iOS\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/20160802_215318656_iOS.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/20160802_215318656_iOS.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/20160802_215318656_iOS.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/20160802_215318656_iOS.jpg?resize=360%2C270&amp;ssl=1 360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/darkgoldenrod-hedgehog-874350.hostingersite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/20160802_215318656_iOS.jpg?w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/darkgoldenrod-hedgehog-874350.hostingersite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/20160802_215318656_iOS.jpg?w=1920 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1849\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">So Green.
