Adventures with kokoclown in the big appo! nyc marathon in january! ~ post-marathon highlights ~ Staten Island: the Start “Let us run with perseverance the race marked for us” Hebrews 12:1 
Brooklyn: over the Verazanno Bridge “Run in such a way as to get the prize.” 1 Corinthians 9:24 
Queens: where KoKo lives “We are fools for Christ” 1 Cor 4:10 
Bronx: crossing the East river “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, and the two will become one flesh” Matthew 19:5 
Manhattan: home stretch into Central Park “I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race. I have kept the faith.” 2 Timothy 4:7 
Explored the boroughs of NYC and conquered them 13 1/2 hours later. I appreciate Koko's thoughtfulness.  Having him take the lead at 10 am and stay along with me the whole way on Saturday made it the best marathon that I've experienced so far. These past few years, I've been running by myself. If I had to choose between running with Koko or by myself ... a partner, for sure! Everyday is exciting with Koko. He's super positive, supportive, patient, & generous with his time... living out His calling and above reproach. I thank God for His providence in our lives & bringing us together. Looking forward to minister together onward! Post-marathon celebration!   A horse carriage ride around Central Park... where Steve proposed! I got a black hematite ring!  And a beautiful diamond.  | 
I started the program on Aug 1, 2005... not knowing much about orthodontics. I'm thankful for these past 2 yrs of training. We had a school-wide graduation in May and dinner at the H club (which was a nice treat after Boards). But it was back to work w/clinic, mock Board & research presentations. When last Thurs came along... it wasn't a surprise when we got this from our director at the graduation dinner:
