I'm 69 as well. And after 32 years of living in the desert, I've come to respect it. It takes several lives here every year.... All ages. I don't do much outside in the dead of Summer. Most everything I try to get done as soon as it's light enough to see. The very early morning hours are the best.
Once the Sun get up and shining, the heat rises quickly. And unlike the humid south and Midwest, it doesn't seem it's as hot as it is. You can dehydrate in almost no time.
