It was a tough grind climbing the long hill up to the beautiful development above the hatchery and I was panting hard when I leveled off for a few yards before continuing…ultratrain in # actifit • 3 days ago • 2 min readMy Actifit Report Card: July 13 2026Another brutally hot day at the hatchery with the temperature once again over 100 degrees with lots of sun and NO wind - really lousy conditions for exercising outdoors. Fortunately my volunteer shift was in the afternoon so I was able to hit the pavement before the heat became oppressive as well as dangerous. The first mile on the path let…ultratrain in # actifit • 5 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: July 11 2026Yet again it was a brutally hot day to be outdoors and it made for a tough morning run, even if the thermometer hadn't yet reached over 100 degrees. There was a 5km community race/walk taking place early this morning but my route along the new biking trails kept me clear of the crowds and I enjoyed the trails in peace. It was over…ultratrain in # actifit • 6 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: July 9 2026I hit the recreational path and bike trails early today before the forecasted hot weather rolled in, plus I wanted to do a few more hours of pond weeding as well. Two days of hauling weeds really tired out my upper body so I was pretty stiff starting my run. Fortunately the first mile is flat and easy with just one short but steep climb before…ultratrain in # actifit • 7 days ago • 2 min readMy Actifit Report Card: July 88 2026Not too strenuous a day running-wise as I spent 3 hours dragging weeds out if one of our trout ponds so my run only covered a bit over 2 miles. Lots of upper body work pulling the weeds so it was a decent workout and my run was at a good pace as we. Lulu and I did have a great hike up in the canyon along the Savoy trail up to an old pond used…ultratrain in # actifit • 8 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: July 7 2026A bit cooler today but it was still a warm morning for another 4 miles on the new biking trails before my hatchery work. My legs are tired now so it took a mile on the concrete path to really loosen up before heading onto the dirt section. At least my pace didn't slow too much on the winding bike section and it's a very enjoyable new area for…ultratrain in # actifit • 12 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: July 4 2026Back to the heat and humidity which made for a slower 5 km morning run into town and back. I figured a run along the creek path would be a nice change of pace but I would still prefer the dirt trails - just so much more relaxing and fulfilling. Mostly flat with just a short climb up and down at the local college before a long pavement…ultratrain in # actifit • 12 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: July 3 2026A busy "day off" front hatchery work but the volunteers took part in the Spearfish 4th of July parade with a float which was a nice couple if miles extra steps undercloudy skies (but still a fun event). First things first I had to get out for a strong 4 mile loop along the new and not worn in bike trails. The rolling and curvy…ultratrain in # actifit • 13 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: July 2 2026Glad that I was able to get out early before the 90+ degree weather hit and put in a good 5 miles on the dirt. Fortunately the humidity hasn't been horrible but it's easy to really work up a good sweat. I've been wearing my Hdrop sweat meter again to check my sweat rates and sodium/potassium loss rates so that i can plan for my races later…ultratrain in # actifit • 15 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: July 1 2026I had to get out early this morning to put in my running miles as I was working the morning volunteer shift today and the forecast was for another hot afternoon. It was already humid but my legs felt pretty good so my pace was good and I covered 4 miles well. It was a warm and busy day at the hatchery with another 3 miles of walking around…ultratrain in # actifit • 17 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: June 28 2026A good run day as I put in a strong(er) 4 and a half miles on the new bike trails this morning. Still a lot of improvement is needed but things are looking better these days. The recent rains have packed down the diet on the new trails and the running is fairly smooth as only a few rocks are present. Much nicer than the easy but monotonous…ultratrain in # actifit • 18 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: June 27 2026I felt pretty exhausted today after getting only a couple of hours sleep after my overnight volunteer shift at the Black Hills 100. I'm tired but it was great to help out the ultramarathon runners. I didn't have much energy in my legs to start my run and only managed a slow 2 miles before heading back home. Oh well, some restorative sleep…ultratrain in # actifit • 19 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: June 26 2026A long, long day as I was an overnight volunteer at the Black Hills 100 trail ultramarathon last night - 10 hours tending to the runners while enduring a microburst wind storm, rainy, mud and chilly conditions. I was able to put in a nice 4 miles on the new bike trails under cloudy skies. My legs are feeling good so now I have to dtop at…ultratrain in # actifit • 21 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: June 25 2026Not too bad a day as I managed a decently paced 5 km on the mountain bike trails but it wasn't as good and comfortable as I would have liked. 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 • 22 days 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 was happy that my legs weren't too tired…ultratrain in # actifit • 23 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: June 22 2026Not a great run today as i was only able to manage a weak 2 miles on the trails on tired legs. 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.

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 • 25 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.

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. Hopefully my endurance will come back nicely for a 24 hour in…
