That is, add some personality–akin to what we’ve sometimes referred to as a point of distinction. Regarding style, original Queer Eye style expert Carson Kressley (who had been a stylist for Ralph Lauren before TV) made it his signature to add some “zhuzh” to a guy’s wardrobe. Design expert Bobby Berk seemingly remodels entire homes in a day or two food expert Anton Porowski toasts some bread or something. ![]() The experts show up and improve his life in every way, often leading up to a decisive moment in life - for example, proposing to a partner or coming out of the closet. A guy is too busy or otherwise focused to spend sufficient time or money on his living space, lifestyle, diet, grooming, and (here’s where I have opinions) style. The reboot has earned praise for adding some emotional heft to the general arc. I’ve really enjoyed the two new seasons of the show, relocated to the Atlanta area with a new cast of experts brought in to elevate some poor schlub every episode. It may have spurred the much-maligned “metrosexual” moment, but it did a lot to make everyday dudes feel better about paying some attention to how you dress, taking care of yourself, and living in the waning era of lad mag boorishness. Don’t underestimate the cultural significance of the original Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, which aired back in 2003. ![]()

![]() Actually, the first time I went back in time, was when you took a shot. ![]() Everytime that happened, I went back in time. I saw you die more times than you could ever imagine. I saw you being shot three times by different people. How many times I have seen you die in front of me. "Chloe, you have no idea how many times I saved you. She turned a little on the bed and kept reading. ![]() But it was so surreal that she was afraid to be true. The punk girl did not know whether to trust or not the words of the letter. The indirect speech by Maxine was turned into something different. hey! Return David's weapon, before he goes up to complain it's missing."Ĭhloe was startled again. I could prevent a young boy from shooting you, I could prevent you from being caught by a train, I could prevent you from getting shot by accident during a stupid game with guns, which, by the way, you love. It's not everyday that someone says they can go back in time, isn't it? I could save your life many times with this power. You would ask me time after time to prove it. Well, basically, I have the power to go back in time. ![]() Who can guarantee that you will believe me now? I found it out because of you, by the way. "Anyway, let me tell you again about my power. She changed her mind and simply laid on an old pillow and went back to reading. Within seconds, she heard her stepfather's car entering in the garage. Before making any movement, however, she remembered what she had read on the letter about David going up to her room and complaining about the music. She used to listen to music when she was strained. Stories so detailed and vivid, and that gave her deep down, obscurely, a feeling of déjà vu. "Would", "Would go up", "Would try" "Would take the blame". She could not process what was happening. The location of her room, the fact that she was smoking and her joint was over the table of her bedroom, the fact that her stepfather is a security guard in Blackwell Academy. Where, by the way, he works as security guard."Ĭhloe felt terrified about the information contained in the letter. He would threaten to tell about my case to the principal of the place where I take photography classes, the Blackwell Academy. And I would probably take the blame, just so you wouldn't get harmed. You would try to say that the grass on the table was mine. Your stepfather would go up to your room, complaining about the loud music. "You now must be smoking, right? It's what you do when you're alone in your room, on the second floor. She took a drag on her cigarette and proceeded reading. She was not understanding what was going on. Her heart felt heavy, and she could not understand why. The blue haired girl's eyes widened while reading that. You would get angry at me if I didn't do things your way. ![]() But not before asking me for lots and lots of proofs. We would be best friends again, after your best friend, who you loved more than anything, would be kidnapped. But after a long time, after you're already moving on with your life, with new friends, a new lifestyle, I would return to Arcadia Bay, to see you again. I would stop to talk to you for a long time, just sending a letter from time to time. She rolled her eyes again to the blurred handwritten letters. The girl who can walk, breathe and eat on her own. That one, outraged by the death of her father and for having a horrible stepfather. The real Chloe, the one with the blue hair. But I will introduce myself."Ĭhloe read the letter not understanding a thing. "If you're reading this right now, it's because my plan worked. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In addition, you will be able to have one hitting captain and one pitching captain.

It is essential to ingested the right types of carbohydrate ( read more here) and to practice this many times in the weeks leading up to a marathon ( read more here). This certainly needs a bit of preparation, but could potentially improve performance further. There are even reports of runners using as much as 120 g/h ( Read this blog). More recently elite marathon runners have been ingesting 90 g/h or more. Look at the ingredient list and check for multiple carbohydrate sources, Koch. The target of 60g/h can be achieved with many different combinations of water, sports drink, gels, chews, bars, and regular foods. The day before the marathon, most runners find it useful to do a short run to loosen up their muscles and help calm their nerves. To build up your glycogen stores for race day, bump up your calorie and carb intake the week prior to the marathon. Then, if you’re running for over an hour, make sure you consume about 30 to 60 grams of carbs every hour. No reason to pick up the pace or do marathon pace. Basically, what you want to be doing, the day before the race is running anywhere from 10-20 minutes, so nothing very far, 20 minutes being the most, all completely easy. Again, what foods and drinks are best is a matter of personal preference. The first and the most important is that running the day before the race is going to help increase blood flow. Your gut will get used to this very quickly. Do not try this for the first time in your marathon! You should transition from your current fueling levels towards 60g/h during training. In races over 2 hours, athletes can benefit from an intake of roughly 60 grams of carbohydrate per hour. During longer races your target carbohydrate intake should be higher than during shorter races. It is important to study what is available on course and develop a plan that takes into account foods and drinks you will collect on course versus foods and drinks you will have to bring yourself. When you get into the final week before your marathon the hard work should essentially already be in the bag. The day before a race may be a stressful time for some runners especially those participating in their first long-distance event. Marathon nutrition requires a bit of planning.
