I was asking you how your second interview went...but I hadn't read far enuff back in the posts 
Ya, been there, it's hard leaving the gym thinking your w/o that day was crappy ...but you usually much stronger the next time..at least in my experience
Saturday Run #1, 30 minutes
Distance: Just a little over 3 miles.
Notes: HOLY CRAP. First of all I have to say that I don't think I've ever run an 8 minute mile, let alone 3. So I'm damn happy.
Second of all, I have to say that cardiovascularly, this was probably the easiest 30 minute run I've ever had. I thought that after not running in such a long time, and as much as I hate running, that this would have been HELL. I thought I would crap out after the first five minutes. Instead, I kept glancing at my watch and at some point I noticed 20 minutes had elapsed and I still wasn't even breathing hard. I had BARELY broken a sweat!
edit: I meant to mention, as Funky pointed out to me, that it has probably got a lot to do with my short rest intervals with the weight training.
I could have kept going past the 30 minutes, but my left knee was hurting a little.
Aside from all the fitness reporting, I want to make a few comments. It was/is a gorgeous night out. The weather is perfect. The wind is just right, the temperature is just right. I hadn't gone for an evening jog in such a long time that I had forgotten how nice it can be outside at night at this time of the year. It was a really nice night, and this jog helped me clear my mind a bit. Destressed me a little. Calmed me down some. Reminded me to just LIVE and not worry.
I really do hate running, but i love the way I feel mentally afterwards. It's the cheapest form of therapy. You get a lot of time to think about stuff. I didn't even take music. Just me, the pavement and the night air (oh yeah, and tourists and cars, and dogwalkers and crickets and parrots, but you know what I mean).
I am looking forward to doing this again next Saturday night.

I once saw Dr. Leistner give a clinic on lifting. He was talking about how there was one point in his life where he was running a lot to improve his cardio conditioning. He decided after awhile to stop the running and focus more on training with short rest intervals, with emphasis n squating 20 reps at 60sec rest. he said he was on the road one day and his car broke down and he had to run all the way back home, 5miles. He said it was the fastest and easiest 5 miles he had ever run adn this was after about 6 months of not running at all!! he attributed his level of conditioning to training at low rest intervals. He then proceeded to scream in some fat womens face about how she needs to be squatting for 20 reps on 60sec RI if she wants to be a machine, if she wants to be lean and in amazing shape. Then addressed the men in the room saying "you want to be a fucking bad ass? you want to walk into a room and know you are the strongest mother fucker there? then start training like an animal with more intensity damn it." LMAO....I love that guy. he is so vulgar.
I would like to meet this man.P-funk said:

Posing/Contest Prep -- Assorted Questions
Posing Guide for Women?
So I decided to go for the Empire States show instead of the Bev Francis, and reading the NABBA guidelines, they require not only the quarter turns, but also the bb'er poses and a free style round. Um... HELP?
I am practicing my posing almost every day, but going by some pictures I took of myself recently I SUCK. I have looked up posing guides online and even on IM, but it's mostly geared towards the men. I want to see a guide with tips for the ladies. I can go to any site that shows winners and see their poses, but I would like a guide that tells me stuff like, "For this pose, stick your butt out, round your elbows, etc... " I have no clue. I'm sure it's the same as for the guys, (is it?) but I want to be 100% on this. Does my question make any sense? Not quarter turns, but all the other poses.
I also need help figuring something out for FREE STYLE or free posing round. Am I supposed to pick music? Am I supposed to have a pre-determined routine, or can I just wing it when I walk out there? This is scary to me. Probably more so than the mandatory stuff.
I found THIS, which is very helpful, but it only covers quarter turns. Another one by the same author, also helpful but doesn't provide what i'm looking for.
Posing Suits --- Best Style for My Body/Frame?
I know I need a one piece and a two piece. Ya'll have seen my pics in my gallery, but the highlights of my body are as follows: i have a high waist, I'm kinda "blocky", not an hourglass/tiny waist kind of girl. Also, I have relatively small breasts (who the hell woudl have told me I'd be saying this about my boobs EVER HHAHAHAHAH!).
Nails, Hair & Makeup
I am trying like crazy to NOT bite my nails FOREVER. I stop and start again. It's a nasty habit, but I can't seem to stop 100%. I stop for about a month and then one day I start up all over again. Do I need to look into getting acrylic or gel nails for the show? Or could I go with naturally shorter (active length) nails, my own, wiht just a nice simple manicure. I've noticed most of these figure girls have CLAWS. I hate fake nails and they are HORRIBLE for my own nails, in terms of the damage they cause after I remove them and go back to my natural nails. Thoughts, anyone?
Hair and makeup are another concern. I am traveling to another state for this show. Therefore it's not like i could afford to fly a stylist and makeup artist out there with me. Do the shows provide such people or should I arrive a few days earlier and find a place recommended by others in the area? Get my hair done night before? Or day of in the morning (5 AM?!)??
I know I am over 3 months out still, but I want to know what to expect, so that I can start planning/organizing myself the sooner the better.
Thanks in advance, everyone!

I don't know about the other stuff, but why dont you get fake press on nails that you can soak off! They won't harm your real nail like getting a set at a salon would.
12-Week and 11-Week Progress Pics Posted
I posted progress pics from 12 weeks out and then 11 weeks out... The posing is pathetic, but i am going to be working on that. For next week's 10-week photos, I will post not only quarter turns but all the other poses as well. I need all the help/pointers I can get!

Thanks Viv, but I don't know if technology has improved the presson's in the past few years. The last time I tried them, my own nails are so short that the press ons had a hard time staying on. I dont' want to lose a nail in the middle of the whole thing.greekblondechic said:
