Hola from our last day in South Padre Island! We started the trek back to MN this week. Sniff sniff.

I attempted to kiteboard last night, but there was no wind. Today was our last walk on the beach, gym for rowing and lifting, car wash, and cramming everything into the last crevasse in Red Randy - including the 100 lb Inch DB I brought down, 7 kites, 1 wing, 3 foils and 6 boards. 😳

If you're in Austin and want to hang out for a later breakfast tomorrow (Monday), email me here or text me since we will be there briefly!

Gym Tune of the Week: Sepultura Roots Bloody Roots Live at Texas '96​

The first time I heard this album, I was the Loud Rock Music Director at the radio station WMTU. I was blown away at how it could be so heavy yet very distinctive in its sound. Amazing! This is the live version.

Much love,
Dr Mike
