The Running Times newsletter just turned up in my inbox and solved a great mystery for me. Where did ASICS come from? What does it mean?
Quote:
ASICS, an acronym derived from the Latin phrase, Anima Sana In Corpore Sano - a sound mind in a sound body
...I never knew that.

True.
Learned this when I first read Pitch Invasion: Adidas, Puma and the making of modern sport
Its a great book. ASICS was formed by the owner of Tiger when NIke started making their own shoes instead of just being the USA distributors. They hit the world scene when Lasse Viren won the Montreal 10k in them.

Good point Simon - are you going to Hobart? We on Spirt of Tassie at moment. Its 5.00AM and just discovered that my new wireless broadband works out on the ocean! - just waiting for the Arena'ettes to wake up.
I Love technology... still trying to get all my techno stuff organised and pidgeon holed for all my travels. Still not sure I like skype, but kinda feel I should use it. Yes.. will be in Tassie, looking forward to catching up
regards
Simon

I use this: http://my.bigpond.com/internetplans/...ireless/about/
Works anywhere in the world - no need to pay exorbitant hotel or airport charges .... i was even able to stop in the middle of no where in Tassie this AM while stopped on the side of the road to respond to a problem that needed some info sent!
Skype is also awesome --- especially with the Arena'ettes and their grandparents in another country - can hook live web cam up to it ... (I can even call the wife on it from another room in the house - saves shouting :) )

Kihachiro Onitsuka, founder of Asics Corp., a sports and leisure products manufacturer, died of heart failure at a hospital in Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, on Saturday, his family said. He was 89.
Onitsuka, chairman of the major sports goods maker, founded Asics's predecessor Onitsuka Co. as a sports shoe maker in Kobe in 1949. The company changed its corporate name to Asics after merging with two sports wear makers in 1977.
