Welcome to Podrunner.

I'm Steve Boyette and coming up is over an hour of great workout music at 144 beats per minute

that I call Beach Comer because a good stretch of it just feels to me like being on the beach.

Complete with seagulls, I might add. You'll start out with laid-back jazzy sacks from Frankie B

and the music will keep its loungy vibe even as the energy builds.

peak that's up ahead. And all I can say is, you'll know it when you get there because

Esco 89's Bang and Drum Fest, Oyo, will be there to take you over the top.

a new mix. So that needs to be repaired or replaced. And that's why podrunner's 17th birthday

wish is not for a pony. It's for a new laptop and a new DJ controller so that I can keep bringing

you the best and best sounding workout mixes, which in case I haven't mentioned it, are always

free. If you can help by contributing to the podrunner birthday wish fund, please visit

the DonatePage at podrunner.com. And if you have or know of a Donatable Workstation-Level

Windows laptop or a Native Instruments Control S5 DJ controller, please let me know. And thank you

for supporting podrunner. But before we go lighting birthday candles, let's head to the beach for a
