Conference track meet

We hosted the HCAC indoor conference track meet this Saturday. We had many throwers qualify to be able to throw there. Javier was ranked in the top 10 and was the highest ranked freshmen in the field. Josh was ranked 6 in the weight throw going in. Josh went on to throw a big pr and place third in the weight. Javier came close to his pr and was able to place 4 and Zach was able to place 8. We are improving and are going to be a better team outdoors.

Biggest regret

I think my biggest regret right now is in both school and sports in high school I could've done more. I did just enough to get a few A's and a couple B's in high school to keep a good GPA but i feel like if i would've actually applied myself I could've done a lot better.  I put a lot of time in to track in high school but as I look back now I feel like there are things I could've done better and worked harder at. I wish I would've had the knowledge I have now and been able to put that towards my training. I don't feel regret because I am doing what I can now to do better at both of these things. I am working harder in my classes and with throwing to get better and improve my marks. I feel at the time we tell ourselves lies and deceive ourselves so we don't realize till later what we were missing out on.

Home track meet

We had a home track meet last Friday. This was the last indoor track meet that I could throw in. I was looking forward to the meet after practice had been going well for me throughout the week. Warm ups went well then my first competition throw was out at about 10.60m. This throw was alright but not near my pr. My second throw was a wide right sector foul and probably would've been a pr. My last throw of the meet it came together I was able to pr with a throw of 11.60m. I was happy to pr but thought i was going to throw farther.

TED talk Pamela Meyer

In Pamela Meyer's TED talk she says that lying is a cooperative act and that for someone to get lied to they also have to agree with the person and it has to go that way. By lying you are saying what you wished you would've done in that situation. I agree with these statements and that lying is a cooperative act and that it goes both ways. No one likes to get lied to but everyone does it to a extent. Everyone lies at some point and uses it to get out of a situation or extend a story but it hurts to get lied to. By looking at the person lying's eyes while there smiling you can tell it's faked. If you look at there shoulder and how they use there eyes and if they look at you or look to much. You could use these to pick out a liar. It could be good in certain situations and when it is necessary to know the truth. I think honesty it worth preserving I think with social media and the way society is going lying is becoming more common and we are believing it more. If more people are aware of how to read someone lying and not believe them it'll become harder for them to be believed
