Marathon Runner looks at Vemma Thirst

Hello Athletes,

The True Test of Vemma Thirst from an elite Marathon Runner my cousin Tim Kowols in Chicago.

Looks like a good product. I think hitting the marathon circuit is a good idea. There's a million tables set up for drinks, protein replacement, gels, etc., so you will fit right in there.

The second video has more running in it, so I would probably show that more than the other one. The big question you will get will concern how they integrate it into their training for a marathon or how they would use it for a marathon.

I didn't look at the nutritional charts closely. Electrolytes are huge for me to replace, but second is sodium. Also, many marathoners are picky about what they put into their system before, during, and after workouts.

I would have that chart you have on the web site comparing it to the other sports drinks. That was very eye opening. It's just a matter of getting it into people's hands.

Here are my times over the years:
2006 Green Bay Marathon- 3:18
2007 Green Bay Marathon- 3:05
2008 Boston Marathon- 3:04
2008 Green Bay Marathon- 2:54
2009 Walt Disney Marathon- 3:34 (ran the Half the day before)
2009 Green Bay Marathon- 3:01
2009 Chicago Marathon- 2:58

All serious athletes if you would like a sample shoot me a comment!

Tipping Point

When you talk to most people about the need for supplementation, pretty much everyone has come to the same conclusion; as much as we'd like to, we just don't eat right and the foods we do eat don't contain the same nutritional content as they did for generations past. If by chance you come across someone that does think they get everything they need from their diet, remind them of a survey done by Realage.com. Of the over 30,000 people surveyed, less than 1/2 of 1% obtained the proper daily nutrition from their diets alone. That leaves 99 1/2% of the market that needs Vemma!

Next month marks Vemma's 5th anniversary! I am in shock how fast 5 years can fly by when you're making a positive difference:-) I have learned a ton over the past 5 years and watched this company go from a two bottle (the green labeled Essential Minerals and the purple Mangosteen Plus) you need to mix yourself, to a company with a singular formula encompassing everyone from 2 to 102 years old. I honestly am more excited about what we're accomplishing today than when we started.

With everything we've done and for all the people we've made a positive difference in their lives around the world, I think about the day I get to write my blog celebrating our 10th year in business. Even though the same amount of time has pasted, the impact will be 10,000 times what it is now. This company is at the 'tipping point' (great book to read!) when more and more people are hearing the great things Vemma can offer the people they care about. All of a sudden, momentum hits and your business begins to explode. That time is almost here, I can feel it. But more importantly, can you feel it? can you believe it? 2010 will bring tremendous things for us, but I want to make sure that 2010 brings tremendous for YOU.

If you know any Moms who have kids 2-12 yrs old...It is my goal to personally help 12 Moms generate $500 a month in the next 6 months.
