Problem: Article: Mix the 8 oz. package of softened cream cheese with the cup of peanut butter in a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer. Mix until the ingredients become smooth. This mixing should take about 2-3 minutes. Add in the 3-3 cups of powdered sugar. Add in the powdered sugar in gradually, making sure every addition is blended in well before adding the next bit of powder. This blending process should take about 3-5 minutes. Once the powdered sugar is well blended, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla. The vanilla shouldn't take very long to mix in with the rest of the ingredients, about 30 seconds. When you add the vanilla, make sure the electric mixer is still going. You want the mixer to be constantly mixing. Once all the frosting ingredients are mixed in, add in 2 tablespoon of either milk or cream to change the consistency of the frosting to your liking. If you're looking for a low-fat option, you can try using skim milk or reduced fat cream, along with reduced fat cream cheese.
Summary: Mix the cream cheese and butter. Add the powdered sugar. Add the vanilla. Blend to your desired consistency.

Problem: Article: Show up early to the race and try to do a lap around the course. That way, you'll be familiar with all of the turns, hills, and terrain and can better prepare. Familiarizing yourself with the course will also make it easier to plan how you're going to pace yourself. A proper warm-up is crucial for getting your body ready for the race and preventing injuries. Before the race starts, go for a slow 10-15 minute jog to warm up your muscles. Then, do some dynamic stretches. Dynamic stretches are stretches that bring your joints and muscles through their full range of motion, and they're better at getting your body warmed up than static stretches. Some dynamic stretches you can try are: Walking lunges: step forward and bend your knee until your thigh is parallel with the ground and your opposite knee is just above the ground. Then, stand back up and repeat with your opposite leg. Repeat 10 times. Leg swings: hold onto something sturdy and swing one of your legs back and forth 20 times. Have each swing get bigger as you go until you're using your full range of motion. Then, repeat with your other leg. Settle into the pace you've been training for and stick with it throughout the beginning and middle of the race. If you start out too fast, you're more likely to lose steam and burn out later on in the race. You can always increase your pace as needed to pass people. By maintaining a steady pace, you'll have more energy for the moments when you need to push yourself to run a little faster. Hills can slow runners down in a race, and if you know how to run up and down them to maximize your speed, it can give you a competitive edge. When you're approaching a hill, increase your speed so you have more momentum going up it and don't get slowed down. When you're going down a hill, don't slow yourself down. Lean into the downward momentum to take advantage of it and come off the hill at a faster speed. Hills are a good opportunity to pass people during a race. During the last 1 mile (1.6km) of the race, increase your speed as much as you can. This is your last opportunity to pass people or maintain your position in the front. New cross country runners tend to start out fast and then lose steam by the end of the race. By maintaining a steady, manageable pace at the beginning of the race, you'll have more energy to push yourself in the final stretch and pass your competitors.
Summary: Walk the course beforehand if you're able to. Warm up before the race. Run at an even pace throughout most of the race. Use hills on the course to your advantage. Push yourself during the final stretch.

Fold the small rectangles so that the back is .5 inches (1.3cm) longer (the front should be 1.5 inches (3.8cm) in length). Take two pockets and put them so that the back of one is on top of the front of the other. Trim them again. Put one on the left side of the wallet. Measure 1/4 of an inch from the center and mark that on the pockets. Repeat for the right side. Take a piece of the original color, about 10 inches (25.4cm), and attach it to the outside of the wallet so that it covers the same color along the bottom. Place the pockets in their correct places. Take a 5-inch (12.7cm) piece of the pocket' Attach that piece to the center of the wallet over the pockets. Wrap the top into the bill fold. Fold over the bottom piece of tape so that it holds the pockets down.
