Try jumping events if you can jump high and/or far. Try hurdling events if you love both running and jumping. Attempt throwing events if you're strong but don't prefer to run."
article: Before you start running track, go to the doctor and get a physical to make sure that it's safe for you to run. During the physical, you'll fill out information about your medical history and be examined physically by the doctor. You may have the opportunity to get a physical done at school. If not, make an appointment with your primary care physician. You'll need to get a few different things to wear and use at practices and meets. Get some athletic clothes, such as gym shorts, athletic leggings, moisture-wicking shirts, moisture-wicking socks, and sports bras, that make working out comfortable. Be sure to get some running shoes that have proper support to prevent injuries, a water bottle, and a water-resistant duffel bag to keep everything in. It would be a good idea to keep a sweatshirt and sweatpants in your duffel bag to wear while you warm up. If you prefer sprinting shorter distances to jogging long ones, then sprinting events might be for you. The sprinting events in track include the 100m (110yd) dash, the 200m (220yd) dash, and the 400m (440yd), each of which you can run on your own or in a relay with 3 other people. In a relay race, the first runner in a team of 4 starts with a baton and passes it to the next person immediately after they've finished running the required distance. Then, the second person runs the same required distance and passes it to the third team member and the cycle continues. The 4th team member crosses the finish line with the baton. In track, there are several different longer races that your school or running program may or may not offer. Typically there is a 800m (0.50mi) race, 1,600m (0.99mi) race, and a 3,200m (2.0mi), but the options vary by school and track type. Consider doing one or more of these events if you feel stronger and faster as a distance runner. Especially at the collegiate level, there are farther distance options, sometimes as long as 10,000m (6.2mi)! If you consider yourself agile and athletic but not necessarily a runner, then a jumping event might be a good fit for you. While practicing for these events, you'll probably do a mixture of different exercises, including cross training, weight lifting, sprinting, and jumping drills. Consider trying one of the following jumping events: Long jump Triple jump High jump If you can't decide between running and jumping events, hurdling events incorporate both types of movement. Typically, you can do the 100m (110yd) hurdles, 400m (440yd) hurdles, or both. Either way, you'll have 10 evenly-spaced hurdles set up on the track in your lane that you have to jump over on your way to the finish line. You can do up to 4 events, so if you love both running and jumping, you could do a running event, a jumping event, a hurdling event, and you'd still be able to do one more. For the most part, throwing practice consists of throwing drills and weight lifting. Consider focusing on throwing events if this kind of workout sounds more appealing to you than running-focused workouts. There are several different throwing events that you can try, including: Shot put Javelin Discus

Coat both sides of the mint leaves with sugar. Transfer the leaves onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Wait 24 hours for the leaves to dry, and don't cover the leaves while they are drying. Use the leaves."
article: Pull the leaves off the stalk, and be sure to leave the stems. This will make them easier to handle, and you can always trim the stems off at the end. Rinse the mint leaves in cool water and gently pat them dry with a paper towel. If you are planning on using these leaves to decorate a cake, choose ones that look nice. Don't use any bruised or torn leaves. You can do this using a fork or a small whisk. If you are worried about Salmonella, use pasteurized egg whites or dried egg whites instead. If you are going to use powdered egg whites, mix them with about 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) of water first. Make sure that both sides are evenly coated, or the sugar won't stick. If the mixture is too runny after you have brushed it on, wait 1 minute before proceeding. This will allow the egg white to solidify a little. You can do this simply by tossing them in a bowl of sugar, or holding them by the stems and sprinkling sugar over them. You can also spread them out, cover them with sugar, flip them over, and cover them with more sugar. Make sure that the leaves are not touching or overlapping, or they will stick together when they dry. Once the leaves are dry, you can store them in an airtight container or use them as a garnish. You can eat them as a treat, or use them to garnish drinks, pastries, cakes, or even ice cream.

article:
You can power any number of redstone lamps from a single daylight sensor. Right-click to invert the sensor, then place a line of redstone dust extending from any side of it. Place short branches of redstone off of this line, with a redstone lamp at the end of each branch. When you reach the limit of the sensor's range (when the redstone is no longer glowing), place a redstone repeater to keep the power line going. Keep in mind the power signal will decrease as it brightens. If you have a long line, the lamps farthest away from the sensor will go out first as dawn approaches. Place three or four fence poles on top of each other to make one tall one, and top it with a redstone lamp. Place redstone dust on top of this lamp, then a daylight sensor on top of the redstone. Surround the redstone with more redstone lamps for extra light, then right-click the sensor to invert it. You can place a redstone lamp directly next to a night sensor to power it directly, with no need for redstone "wires." Bury the sensor two blocks deep in the floor, wall, or ceiling to make your lamps part of the room itself.
