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 • 2 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 • 4 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 • 6 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 • 6 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 • 8 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 • 9 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 • 10 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 • 11 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 • 11 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. I had an easy and boring morning volunteer shift so my legs were in good shape as I started out climbing the switchback bike trails up the hillside to the plateau a few hundred feet higher. A steady half mile…ultratrain in # actifit • 12 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: August 2 2026Lots of steps but that was from working around the fish hatchery for several hours - my run was pitiful and short as my legs had no energy in them today. 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 • 13 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 • 14 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…ultratrain in # actifit • 16 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: July 29 2026An easy start on tired legs but I pressed on and ended up with a good 6 miles at a decent pace on the trails. I've been using my red light therapy light on my back and quads to see if it will help my sore back and tired legs - not any appreciable effect so far but I'll keep it up to see how it works going forward. My endurance is better but…ultratrain in # actifit • 18 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: July 28 2026It took me the first mile to get into a decent rhythm of running before my body finally felt good and loose and my run became enjoyable. As soon as I veered off onto the rolling and dusty trails my pace picked up a bit (even though it was a trail) and the sun felt great running in just shorts. The next 3 miles were good as I was able to…ultratrain in # actifit • 19 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: July 27 2026My legs were dragging today and I struggled to run 5 km on the trails but my diet was good and I was working hard cleaning out the hatchery ponds for over 3 hours. I never really found my groove for running so I figured I'd just enjoy a quiet run through the oak scrub and hope tomorrow is a better day. Lots of heavy dragging and lifting pond…ultratrain in # actifit • 19 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: July 26 2026I had to get out earlier for my run so that I could do a few hours of pond weeding at the hatchery before the heat rolled in. It quickly hit the new bike trails for a steep up and down couple of miles before leveling off onto the more mellow trails. As I started down onto the new trail literally ran into Avery unhappy Prairie Rattlesnake…ultratrain in # actifit • 20 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: July 2026I had to go out early this morning to avoid the oppressive afternoon heat but it was still an uncomfortable but good trail run. The trail was free of cyclists so I could get in a mile and a half going up and down the winding single-track route before joining back up with the cement for a bit and then onto the more mellow and…ultratrain in # actifit • 22 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: July 23 2026As expected my legs were tired after my hard run yesterday and a long volunteer shift on my feet so my run was only 3 slower miles today. I stuck with a simple looping route along the easier bike trails with one hilly section along the first mile. The dry weather has made the trails dusty but the footing was good and the scenery definitely…ultratrain in # actifit • 23 days ago • 1 min readMy Actifit Report Card: July 22 2026A much milder morning for a run up and down the new and more extreme biking trails on the hillsides rising above the campground. My legs felt good and strong for a change and I'm happy that my endurance is beginning to return (although a ways to go yet before I'm ready for an ultra). The trails are designed for bumpy and twisting…
