Written By Allan Hammell This installment of agoodrun is a bit different than the rest. This ‘run’ was a 100 mile bike ride in the Twin Cities. At various times in my life I’ve considered myself a runner. I still run somewhat regularly with my wife and dog, but cycling always seems to be more…

7.2 Miles in Raleigh, North Carolina With Tracie Rodriguez
Written By Tracie Rodriguez When I received the email asking if I wanted to be a part of A Good Run, I couldn’t have been more excited. I have lived in Raleigh, NC for 11 years and while living here, I have learned so much about myself and life. Raleigh is where I started running,…
4.94 Miles in Ames, Iowa With Tillie Good
Written by Tillie Good I’m not really sure what I was thinking when I agreed to run Ames, IA and write a blog post for A Good Run. I’ve never been a “good” runner and have to work at it consistently to build mileage and stamina. And, I’ve been on a hiatus from running for…

5.8 Miles in Beacon, New York With Brendan Cunningham
The three main focuses in my life are my wife, the study of art, and discovering new music. Fourth place would have to be reading; non-fiction primarily.
