New shoes, same as the old shoes
Got a new pair of ASICS Gel 1100 shoes today, my old two pairs having lost most of their cushion. Funny to run in new shoes.
I did not realize that ASICS stands for Anima Sana In Corpore Sano, which is translated on my shoebox as Sound Mind Sound Body.
Wikipedia.org says theirs is a variation on mens sana in corpore sano:
Over time, the phrase has come to mean that only a healthy body can produce or sustain a healthy mind.The phrase is taken from a longer sentence, "Orandum est ut sit mens sana in corpore sano," which may be translated: "You should pray for a healthy mind in a healthy body," which is a very different thing than the current meaning above.
Good point.
