Rubber duck, anyone?

On Andrew Is Getting Fit I have found request to become rubber duck.

So what is going on? There is marketing campaign run (huh) by Adidas in New Zealand (on Nov 2nd there is marathon run sponsored by Adidas). This campaign uses little, yellow rubber duck as a mascot. On page devoted to this campaign You can find explanation (I have written it down, since it is flash site and it is hard to link directly), and it starts with:

You cannot be crushed. You can not be broken. You bounce back. You will always rise to surface. REPEAT AFTER ME: I am a yellow rubber duck. When it hurt: I am a yellow rubber duck. At 17th km: I am a yellow rubber duck.

The point is little rubber ducks are really invincible - having three children I’ve seen them in action, and really they capable to overcome everything :))

This is fun motto for runners, but it can be used for almost every activity You are engaged in. Don’t give up and go for a goal, don’t stop, move forward steady. Then You also become invincible - no matter what will happen You will bounce back, You wont be crushed, You won’t be broken. Like little rubber duck.
