Want to start thinking about your New Year’s resolutions early? Some folks swear by getting started on them in the fall.
If running is one of yours, we rounded up a run club for every day of the week so you can make time to break a sweat.
Monday
Mañana Mosey | First Monday of the month | 7 a.m. | You don’t need to be a hardcore runner to get in on this club because participants are invited to walk, run, or mosey through the route.
Tuesday
The Morning Jo’s | Every Tuesday | 6 a.m. | Once you’re done running, that coffee will taste even better.
Wednesday
East Side Beer Runners | Every Wednesday | 6:30 p.m. | Runners of all skill levels are invited to lace up their shoes and grab a drink at the end.
Still don’t see one that makes you want to run? Check out this community-centric run club forum.

This December, Mozart’s Festival of Lights transforms into a dazzling celebration with “He Rules The World” — a multimillion-dollar Christmas rock concert running for nine nights only, Dec. 12–20.

Zillow expects Austin to be the No.14 city with the biggest decline in home prices — an anticipated 1.8% drop — from September 2025 to September 2026. It would track with the last year, as home prices in Austin fell 5.8% between August 2024 and August 2025.
Watch
Reel talk — have you seen “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” recently? The 1974 film is the most popular horror movie in the Lone Star State, according to a new study. Now that spooky season has come and gone, we recommend turning on a flick with ties to the Capital City. (CW33)
Stat
25%. That’s how much grocery prices have climbed in recent years, while dining out is up about 30%. According to a new Hims study, fast food can actually be cheaper than groceries in Austin. Pro tip: Skip the drive-thru and grab lunch under $10 locally.
Mansion Monday
A stair-climbing robot vacuum is among Time Magazine’s 300 best inventions of 2025. If it takes a wrong turn, you can also use voice commands to help it out. That makes the prospect of cleaning this recently listed Austin mansion a little less daunting.
Drink
A taste of the Big Easy is gaining popularity across the country, according to the New York Times. The Obituary is a martini made with gin, vermouth, absinthe, and lemon zest, and is experiencing a renaissance. See if you can find one at a local happy hour.
The Word
The viral “6-7" trend has made it into the record books — it’s now Dictionary.com’s Word of the Year for 2025. We don’t understand it, either. What we do understand is our Games section, where not six, not seven, but eight daily options await. (AP News)

I was sad when I missed Justine’s Brasserie’s Parisian Flea Market and Brunch over the weekend, but I promptly cheered up when I realized it would be back this Saturday, Nov. 15 and Sunday, Nov. 16. Stop by for mingling, French 75s, and a host of artisan vendors.
