This week is the final week of training/tapering for my first 50 mile race – the weather is cooling off and I am itching to run more than ever! I guess that is what happens during the taper… Let’s see how this week went and check out the new Stunt Puppy Go Dog Glo™ Dry Collar™.
Weekly Workouts
Monday- 4 miles 8 miles
Due to being back in civilization, I decided to juts hit up the treadmill early on Monday rather than head outside. While I would have LOVED to go outside, I didn’t know where I was (somewhere in Denver) and I didn’t want to get lost within a couple hours of leaving town… Plus, new hotel = new gym = new treadmill!
Tuesday- 3 miles easy + 1 mile with the pup + 1 mile walk
I rolled out of bed in enough time to run a few minutes late for meeting up with Angie…we ran 3 together – and then I took Pai out for a mile as well : ) I missed my running buddies!
In the evening, little man and I walked a 1/2 mile (out and back) to Angie’s house to return the borrowed sleeping bags from our camping adventure (because they are going on their own adventure this coming weekend!).
Wednesday- 2 miles
A nice family run (minus the working hubs) to finish up my last day of running in this training cycle! Next up, the BIG RACE!! (…and maybe some walking…)
Thursday- OFF
Friday- OFF
Saturday- Hawk 50 mile – Clinton Lake, Lawrence, KS
Sunday- RECOVERY + attempting to walk
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!
Weekly Miles : 64miles + 1 walking miles
1713 / 2,016 miles in 2016

Stunt Puppy Go Dog Glo™ Dry Collar™ | Review
By now you should know that I love trying new gear, and this love has rubbed off on my pup Paisley as well. She loves testing new gear!
We head outside at all times of the day or night, sunshine or rain. I recently received the opportunity to try the Stunt Puppy Go Dog Glo™ Dry Collar™ and both Pai and I were stoked!
Even though Miss Pai LOVES to run, the past couple weeks have been my taper time…so it has been good for us to just go for a morning short run and evening walks : ) With our trusty Stunt Puppy Stunt Runner (and poo bag) in hand, she goes NUTS because she knows she gets to head out the front door for some fun!
Clip and go!

The Stunt Puppy Go Dog Glo™ Dry Collar™ is made of a waterproof BioThane® – a virtually indestructible, flexible, stink-proof material. The double-D rings are great for tags and leash connections. I was able to easily move her Whistle GPS tracker to the 1″ collar – no need for tags. I am glad that the second D-ring is adjustable so I could move it away from the main buckle and tracker.
The durable, reflective collar is designed for active dogs and works great in daylight or low light conditions thanks to the 3M Reflective Edgeguard® trim!

Here more specs for the Stunt Puppy Go Dog Glo™ Dry Collar™ :
- 3M Reflective Edgeguard® trim (as mentioned above)
- Best-in-class Duraflex Wienerlock® buckle
- Separate D-Ring just for tags to keep the jingling noise down
- Variable position metal D-Ring for easy access to leash clip
- Six fun, bright colors (orange, yellow, pink, royal, ocean, & red)
- Made in USA
Due to the force of Paisley’s pulling (or walking/running me rather than the other way around), I was glad to see that the Duraflex Wienerlock® buckle can support up to 225 pound of force!
Paisley and I have put the Stunt Puppy Go Dog Glo™ Dry Collar™ through the running/pulling ringer, and we both feel like it passes the test!
I am more comfortable running with her in the early morning or evening without worry that she will not be seen!
With our Stunt Puppy Stunt Runner and Go Dog Glo™ Dry Collar™, we can hit the streets in style! Many miles to go…

I was hoping this was the race recap… I’ll just have to wait! That’s a really cool dog collar. I have never run with a dog, but I do volunteer at the Humane Society and walk dogs. Which is huge because I was afraid of dogs before I started walking them!! (was bit by a German Shepard as a kid). Luckily I have made friends with most dogs again.

Ha! Sorry – working on a recap now 🙂 We enjoy the collar – but we made it home this past weekend without her tracker on the collar…not sure when it fell off 😦 Oh well!

Happy birthday and congrats? So are you walking 😉 ?
Do they make the collars for smaller dogs? Just curious. We’re not often out when it’s dark, but you never know.

At this point, I am going for a run tomorrow morning 😉 Walking is the current routine. Stunt Puppy make leashes at different lengths and collars for “small” and “large” dogs…we use the large, obvi 🙂 ha!

Congrats on the 50! That’s amazing! I crewed in Leadville one year and was in awe. That looks like a great collar. I’m often out walking my pups in the dark. I wonder if they make a harness??

The leash that I am wearing in the pictures is also Stunt Puppy, but it doesn’t have reflective elements. They do make harnesses (in the “MORE” section of their website) with similar “GLO” attributions 🙂
