Well, despite my cardiologist's opinion, I'm back running. My GP is a runner, and after having him check me out, he said go for it. This just shows you what a diversity of opinion there is in the medical community about aerobic exercise post-MI.
Here in Mississippi, it has been in the upper 90's F with close to 90% humidity, so my runs have been at 5 AM or shortly after. Even then, it's draining. I'm being smart and not taking it too fast, hydrating well, and not racing. A short swim in the pool helps after a run in these conditions. I did, however, encounter a water moccasin taking a dip with me one morning.
My mental health is improved since getting back to running.
