I ended up working the afternoon shift so I went out early for my run. A few raindrops but otherwise it was cool and breezy for a run. The trails were a bit muddy in spots but I had no trouble…ultratrain in # actifit • 1 day ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: June 24 2026I ended up dodging the occasional rain drops on this rather nice day, despite a few afternoon thunderstorms (the ducks and trout didn't seem to mind). I worked the morning shift as rover so I was able to cover almost 3 miles walking around the hatchery grounds while the weather was sunny and mild.

I had hoped my mileage would be better but as long as I'm running decently every day I'm happy. My route was on the bike trails again so at least it was a nice effort. Lulu and I had a better hike down to Spearfish Falls in the afternoon. Such a…ultratrain in # actifit • 4 days ago • 1 min readBack on the trails - My Actifit Report Card: June 21 2026A foggy and damp morning for a run but thankfully I had a great night's sleep after the long trip to Wyoming and was ready to get running. The new additions to the local biking trails are just about complete with just packing of the dirt surface and adding rocks for stability of the banks to be done. For now the trails added up to about 3…ultratrain in # actifit • 5 days ago • 2 min readSummer Solstice hike - ĺMy Actifit Report Card: June 20 2026It was a tiring day for a high altitude hike (approximately 10,000 feet) up at the Medicine Wheel archeological site in the Little Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming. It was a gorgeous ride up into the mountains along the scenic highway. The high meadows were a rich green and big patches of snow were still visible when we got up to 9000…ultratrain in # actifit • 6 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: June 19 2026Just aneasy evening walk in Wyoming as we're off to the Medicine Wheel archeological site high in the Little Bighorn Mountains tomorrow morning to welcome the Summer solstice. Lulu and I did an easy walk around the quiet town on back roads and a quant little park next to the Tongue River.

My diet is back on track and my body is feeling stronger as the initial sluggishness of keto adaptation slowed me down. My weight is down 5 pounds so far and my blood sugar is good.

The days was sunny but there was a strong winds so the conditions were fine for my morning run. I had hiked part of the new mountain bike trails that ran as sharp switch backs up the hill but the work was still…ultratrain in # actifit • 10 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: June 15 2026A harder than expected run across town but good mileage overall as I'm slowly improving. I started off on the far western part of town and planned on running several dirt paths along the south side of the creek but several spots were fenced off so my 4 miles ended up mostly back along quiet side roads and the recreational path.

Crow Peak is one of the three mountains that form a " crown " around Spearfish and that is why it's also called the Queen City .

It made for a tiring volunteer shift at the hatchery. I got out early for my run but it was already uncomfortably warm as I headed into the town along the creekside path.

I'm happy to see the landscape coming alive with the rain so hopefully the summer…
