UCLA Coach John Wooden defines success

I have had a great week running! I am excited to get my orthotics next Tuesday, and proud of myself for running 8 miles with the Halve Mein Hash House Harriers last weekend.

I was really inspired by this TED video. Former UCLA Coach John Wooden redefines success and urges us all to pursue the best in ourselves. I like his definition of success, it is in line with my definition of success in running.

His pyramid of success is reproduced here: http://www.salem.k12.va.us/shs/moore/johnwoodensuccess.html
