Is this really an ultra marathon?

I took the day off work today, so it's time to GAL. Instead of taking my ride last night in the cold darkness, I went down to the bike path and rode in the cold, crisp sunlight. 18 miles today in 35 degree weather.

I also smuggled in Chipotle for my S at school again. Since I'm off work, I stayed for recess, too. We had a mean game of 4 square going with probably about 8-9 kids involved. I think the other kids as well as my S may like it when I show up. If not, at least I enjoy them! On the way out, I ran into one of my neighbor's sister, who knows both my W and me. She ended up asking about my sitch. I told her I was DB'ing without telling her I was DB'ing IOW, I'm just staying busy, staying positive, doing a lot new cool things, being a rock for my S, etc. and my W can decide whether she wants to come back to this environment or whether she'll miss out.

Tonight my S and I are going to watch Carolina and MSU play hoops on the aircraft carrier. We have a tobyMac concert tomorrow! Looking forward to both!
