Until this past weekend, it had been a year and a half since I ran more than 17 miles at once. I had to look back at my training logs to confirm the date, mileage, and pace because I couldn’t remember if I had run that distance in the absence of a fall marathon goal race in 2019 (I knew I hadn’t run that distance in 2020).

A week and a half ago, our second freezer decided to give up its fight. It was a good freezer, though I can’t say it had a very long or exciting life. It lived to be 12 and a half years old, which, in the life of a freezer, is probably about average. We can’t complain. It served us well.
