An easy half mile to loosen up, and then it was onto the hillside trail to grind up the half mile climb to the roa above the campground. Although…ultratrain in # actifit • 2 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: August 23 2026It was a surprisingly good afternoon run on a warm, sunny and humid day after I finished up a busy morning volunteer shift at the hatchery gift ship. I was nearing the end of a 40+ hour fast and I figured my legs would be tired but i actually felt good after a little warm up along the campground path. I headed up along the hillside bike trails…ultratrain in # actifit • 5 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: August 20 2026Today's run was a struggle to cover a bit over 2 miles on yet another hot day 🥵🥵🥵. At least I was able to make the arduous climb up the hillside even if it was slow and the following descent back down was a relief. From there my legs just lost their energy and I just ran back to the rv and called the run done. Hopefully a family day…ultratrain in # actifit • 6 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: August 19 2026Another good run on the trails and up and down the hillsides under clear and sunny skies. My legs were feeling decent and I quickly loosened up before turning onto the new downhill bike trails that turned to wind up along the steep hillside before topping out a few hundred feet later. Following a nice long descent back down to the rec path…ultratrain in # actifit • 7 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: August 18 2026I had a very good day running-wise this morning as my legs and back weren't so stiff and sore. Plus, I was 39 hours into a 40 hour fast and even that didn't affect me it seems. I tried a little bit different route with 3 miles through the grounds at the nearby state university. Nice and easy walkways along nicely maintained grounds that…ultratrain in # actifit • 7 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: August 17 2026It was nice to get out for a run and try to loosen up all of my aching muscles and joints after my mediocre trail attempt on Saturday. Not a great result there but it's a start and showed how much my endurance is lacking (especially in a hilly trail). I have been having the occasional back spams if I move a certain way from my fall during the…ultratrain in # actifit • 10 days ago • 2 min readBlack Hills Super 6 run - Actifit Report Card: August 15 2026I competed in the 3 hour solo trail run division of the Black Hills Super 6 race up on the local Big Hill Trail network this morning under clear skies and moderate temperatures with a bunch of other running and biking " nuts " 😁😁😁. I wasn't expecting a great result as I'm still lacking endurance and I'm in the middle of another long fast…ultratrain in # actifit • 11 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: August 13 2026Nice to be finally receiving some much needed precipitation and cooler temperatures now which makes my activities a lot easier and enjoyable . Since my 3 hour race on a tough trail network is Saturday morning I ran an easy 5 km today. Just s mellow loop around the recreational path and rolling bike path under thickening clouds that would…ultratrain in # actifit • 12 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: August 12 2026We finally are due for some cooler weather coming in so hopefully my running will be getting better into the fall season. Today's run was a nice 5 miler around the trails in the morning before my volunteer shift. Plenty of clouds and a cooling breeze made conditions nice and my pace was good the whole way. Going through with a long 24 to 30…ultratrain in # actifit • 14 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: August 10 2026Another most productive run but it ended up better than I expected after a slow start. I was 20 hours into a 30 hour fast so it was a bit tough going at first. My blood sugar has been running 10 to 15 points lower while fasting and my ketones are great at over 3. Still the first mile to the trailhead was slow but I covered the next 3 and a half…ultratrain in # actifit • 16 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: August 9 2026Tired legs today on another hot day equalled a short and relatively slow run around the area roads. Not what I wanted but hopefully some good sleep and a few days of some serious fasting will get my body tuned up a bit. No difficult hills or trails today as I just did a loop on the rec path leading out of town then back through the town…ultratrain in # actifit • 16 days ago • 2 min readMy Actifit Report Card: August 8 2026It was another hot day so my morning run was early so as to avoid the oppressive afternoon heat. Not a speedy run but my legs seem to br doing ok right now. I started off climbing up the hillside bike trails to the plateau above few hundred feet later. It's getting easier on the climbing but now I need to work on my endurance even if the pace…ultratrain in # actifit • 18 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: August 7 2026A later start for my run since we headed into Rapid City for lab work and mail so it was getting warm as I started up the hilly trails. The first mile was the big zag trail up the side of the hill so my pace was a slow trot but it picked up nicely as I zipped down the road back to the recreational path. A bit more boring path running and then…ultratrain in # actifit • 19 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: August 6 2026My body is gradually adjusting to the additional intermittent fasting I've started over the past week thus my energy isn't back to normal yet (although my glucose monitor is running a healthy 19 points lower and my ketone levels are over 3 right now). It was a tough but short run as I hit the switch backs up the hillside and then continued on a…ultratrain in # actifit • 20 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: August 5 2026A decent day despite the return of a bit of Summertime heat -fortunately my volunteer shift was in the afternoon so I was able to run earlier while it was cooler. I immediately hit the bike trails that wound up the campground hillside before the much easier long downhill back to the path before quickly turning back onto the gentler trail for…ultratrain in # actifit • 21 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: August 4 2026I am impressed and happy with my run today as I was able to crack 6 miles while feeling great and motivated despite a tough climb up along the winding bike trails that rise to the plateau above the grounds. I was on the pavement for just a few hundred yards before hitting the climb and I maintained a steady pace as the narrow trail zig-zagged…ultratrain in # actifit • 22 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: August 3 2026We had a nice reprieve from the heat today and the additional cloudy sky helped make my afternoon run so much easier and enjoyable.

Of course I was finishing up a 24 hour fast which didn't help my overall energy levels but it helps my weight and especially my blood sugars. I could only manage a tough up and down circuit…ultratrain in # actifit • 23 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: August 1 2026A slow and tired start on my run but i I was able to get going nicely once I turned onto the trails. My quads have been very tired this week and it takes a while to get into a comfortable rhythm running which is frustrating. At least the rest of my run was much easier and my pace was good even with the continuous hot days we are…ultratrain in # actifit • 24 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: July 31 2026A decent end to the month of July with an easy 3 miles early in the morning followed by a couple of hours down in Keystone panning for gold with Lulu. Fortunately the heat would hold off until later in the morning so my loop on the trails was relatively comfortable although I did work up a good sweat. My legs were feeling good so my pace…
