Running on Tuesday Mornings with 1379 Sports!

The weather this time of year has been uncharacteristically fabulous for these little jogs. Though our fearless leader Betty tries...

Holiday Family Fun in Austin
Austin won’t have a frozen lake this winter but that won’t stop locals from ice skating. If you plan on taking your kids snow skiing this year, make sure they try ice skating first.
