Cyclocross Season in Full swing In the Northwest

Seattle cyclocross is in overdrive for the season with several races already finished. We have been out to several races and it has been great to see all the people out there with their dogs, they all looked like they were having a ton of fun getting dirty and getting some exercise. As always Jake was there showing off the latest version of the Release N Run featuring an easier pulling handle, quieter operation, and better retraction into the pouch. Check out the latest RAD DOG gear on our website www.myraddog.com. Brian has also been out having fun scoring a few top ten's in the cat III men's races. Never heard of cyclocross check it out here cascadecross.com/aboutcx its a super fun sport to both watch and ride in,so grab a cow bell and a cup of coffee and come out and check it out.

Goal Achieved! Boston Qualifying Time in 3:08

I went BIG a the twin cities Marathon last weekend, Running a 3:08 on the Hilly course. The Weather was perfect as were the months of training that lead up to the Marathon. I felt great the first half on pace for a 3:04 but the hill up Summit Ave really took a toll on my time, it is such a relentless hill that just keeps going and going. Super stocked that i made my goal though! achieved

RD Team Member Paula Runs Boston Qualifying Marathon

Rad Dog's very own Paula J Set out over 4 months ago to qualify for the Boston marathon and She made it with 2 minutes to spare. It was a perfect June day with temps in the
lower 50's and little wind. The team was out in full support to watch her smoke yet another marathon. Jake was in full testing mode of the Release N Run while he cheered Paula on.





Here Jake is on full Point looking for the athletes to come through. All in a days work when testing the Release N Run. Jake has the pull of a triple crown race horse, if he can't break the leash he thinks its good to go! visit our website http://www.myraddog.com/and find a dealer near you and if there's not one, tell your local pet store or gear shop they need to carry more RAD gear!

A Sad Farewell to the Original Rad Dog

While there are many Rad Dogs out there, our original Rad Dog succumbed to cancer on June 25, 2009. After testing tens of leashes, Fletcher passed on the task of test dog to his adopted brother, Jake. On his last day, he enjoyed a scrumptious filet mignon. Thanks to Fletch for helping us launch the Release N Run. We'll miss you, buddy.

Packaging

	Friend and Foe: While we didn't want to have packaging for the Release N Run because it only adds to ever increasing landfills, we realized the necessity and value of packaging for marketing. So, we compromised for eco-friendly packaging.
Cheers to our graphic designer Katy. Check out her work: http://www.lemeshkodesign.com/index.html
