I don't need no stinkin' water!

Yes! You need water (and more) to keep
the HUMAN engine running.


Our HUMAN engines need more than just high octane fuel to keep up optimum performance.  It needs water and re-hydration to keep the engine cooled and running efficiently.  As I am training for yet, another 60 mile walk as well as my first 5K (as a runner) it is important to keep fluid levels at an optimum.  During heavy exercise it is SO important to maintain, not only your water levels but also the body chemistry needed for optimum performance.

  • Your body needs a way to minimize fluid loss during activity, or even daily doings when it is hot or extremely dry. (Winters up in the North would be an example of an extremely dry time. -You know who you are) :-)
  • Your body needs a way to maintain steady blood-glucose levels to sustain energy output and to increase stamina.
  • Your body needs increased endurance for better athletic performance.

I have found, use, and recommend a clinically proven way to hydrate better than water during heavy training. This product has MORE electrolytes and provides MORE energy than the leading hydration drink purchased from your local grocer to improve my athletic performance. (My hubby even asks for it when he is out working in the yard or on one of the vehicles.)  

In fact, this product is very similar to the drink our astronauts consume while in space and when returning from long stints in orbit to re-hydrate and maintain consciousness upon re-entry to our atmosphere. :-)

Contact us for more information!  Maybe even a sample.

I stand, walk, run, and parent behind my word, so does my vendor.

11 days left... Lets work on this!

Do me a favor, pay attention to prevention and reduce the need for events like these!

Well, my friend Julie & I have 11 days until the 3-day, 60 mile walk for Susan G Komen and Breast Cancer support!  We've each surpassed our $2300 minimum fund raising and are working toward our goals of $3,000 each.  I am thankful for this organization and what it has done to assist my mother in attaining care and my sister in attaining testing for Breast Cancer!

The training is almost over!  I'm working on the continuing blister problem on my heals.  Jim from church taught me how to re-lace my shoes so they fit better. Thank you, Jim.  Now they feel more secure without feeling like they are cutting off the circulation. :-)

My nutrition products arrived yesterday via UPS!  Love the men in the little brown suits.  I will be doing a lot of incline training in the next 10 days to prepare for the walk bridges over the interstates in the Tampa area, as my Achilles' heal and the fronts of my thighs have proven they would like some of this.

It is exciting to get to this point and know that the 10 months of training are about to pay off!

If you would like to assist me in reaching my $3,000 goal you may visit my fundraising site at http://the3day.org/goto/TessBrennan.

Otherwise, please pray for our safety and our bodies as we walk these 60 miles, AND PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE... make 1 change this month for the healthier!  Pay attention to prevention!

According to the CDC - nearly 65% of people are over weight or obese
American Heart Association - 80% of heart disease is preventable
American Cancer Society - believes 60% of cancers are diet & lifestyle preventable
American Diabetes Association - 90% of all type 2 diabetes are reversible.

MAKE A CHANGE! Get healthier!!  If you need some assistance contact us and allow us to work with you! We want to make a difference!
