Bucket list: marathon

January 2012

Contrary to popular opinion, William is not the only member of the Ngo household. The rest of us just have to perform a feat to get a blog mention...our cuteness alone doesn't merit an entry.

In a blatant attempt to make the blog and cross off an entry on his bucket list, Nang and three buddies decided to tackle the 2012 Chevron Houston Marathon in January. It wouldn't be an event if there was not division into teams and a wager placed on the opposing sides. With the prize named (dinner for the winning team at the expense of the losers) and perpetual bragging rights hanging in the balance, Nang and his partner dug deep to bring in a win. Dennis' superhuman running ability (he even bought a book on running to prepare for the event) coupled with Nang's superior training regime (his pre-race runs topped out at a whopping 10 miles) created an unbeatable running powerhouse.

Congratulations, Neon Tigers!! Rawr.
