I did it again! The Morning Jo's RUN Club. 6 am Tuesdays @ Jo's Coffee South Congress Avenue ATX

 I did it again! The Morning Jo's RUN Club. 6 am Tuesdays @ Jo's Coffee South Congress Avenue ATX. Today's run was 4 miles in length.

This is perhaps the largest, most fun and varied pace social run club in all of Austin, Texas! It has been in existence for 7-8+ years. Currently in the year of 2025, they average around 200, yes 200 morning runners each Tuesday, start time 6 pm.  The organizer said the max they've ever had was 350 people. The run route for this well- populated urban group starts on South Congress Ave and heads directly north to the Texas Capitol Gov't building. It's a straight shot down SoCo. Then the route wraps around the rear of the Texas State Capitol granite building and returns back due south on SoCo, until the happy ending post hill climb at Jo's Coffee SoCo. 

The unique positives of the Morning Jo's Run Club are:

  • There are human volunteer PACERS for joggers in the 7,8,9,10,11 and 12 minute mile categories. There is even a walk only pacer category. The Pacers wear bright colored vests or shirts which are easy to see and follow.
  • The group has a solid at least 50/50 female to male ratio of participants. Today I'd guess it was 6 or 7 females to 3 males? 
  • The group is very welcoming, diverse and is an easier jog, with some helpful city stop-light mini breaks. 
  • It is described as being the most SOCIAL Run Group of them all in Austin, Texas.
  • it is 100 percent FREE to join and attend.

Did I enjoy it, yes! Will I attend again, Yes.

Per TheATX1 (@The ATX) on Twitter: Here are the Future Development Plans for West 6th and Lamar in Old West Austin, near Downtown, ATX.

 This is a massing of the 6th & Lamar (Waterloo Records site) residential project based on the Planning Commission approved zoning. The original plans before a compromise was reached with the local neighborhood association called for a building 31' and two or three floors taller.

Should you BUY a FLIPPED House? ATX Broker Associate GVM Tips, Insights.

 SHOULD YOU BUY a "FLIPPED" HOUSE?  Have you personally ever considered and wondered if you, yourself should BUY  a "flipped house." In my 15+ years of predominantly residential Central Austin brokerage practice and experience, here are my insights, opinions, suggestions and things to be cognizant of.  #1. Absolutely, for sure get a LICENSED INSPECTION on the flipped house! Not all flippers are the same. Just like in life there is a wide spectrum in regards to quality. Some flippers are flat out awful. They make very lipstick-like improvements, skip the expensive items such as the foundation, and plumbing and try to trick the consumer into paying more for a home, when the consumer shouldn't.  On the Flip Side (this joke was just too obvious) There are also excellent high-quality flippers whom selectively choose which homes they flip, and then they invest carefully and beautifully while genuinely  improving a home! Some of these hi-quality upper tier flippe...

Austin, Texas has a DOG PROBLEM.....

  Austin, Texas has a DOG problem (Letter I wrote and sent) Dear Austin City Council Members, Hello and well regards, Yesterday afternoon during a simple bicycle pedal exercise ride, I was physically chased by an unleashed Pitbull dog in ZILKER PARK. Then directly after recovering from almost being mauled by an unleashed pit-bull in Zilker Park, I attempted to buy a Gatorade at a nearby Barton Springs Road Market, but that didn't go well either, as an interior Market commercial customer had a massive mixed breed dog trolling through the diminutive shopping isles. Then this morning, at a Coffee shop on SoCo, there was only 1 entry way in and out, and there was another large, although more docile mixed breed dog. All of this has occurred in less than 24 hours. What's the point? The City of Austin's dog friendliness and citizen enabling of irresponsible dog owners has gotten out of control. Newsflash! Not everybody like dogs, being everywhere all the time. especially within ...
