This week marked the start of the Fall Virtual Race Series for CVR, encompassing the final seven races of the season. In a departure from the previous series, this time we have a two-week window surrounding the originally scheduled race date. The first race in the series, the Sodom Pond 4-miler, had been scheduled forContinue reading “9/16/20: Sodom Pond Four Mile Virtual Race”

9/5/20: CVR Participation Series Adamant Half Marathon
With weeks of preparation in my pocket, and the CVR Participation Race Series coming to an end, I felt ready to go for the final race, the Adamant Half Marathon. My anticipation and excitement for the race only increased in the days beforehand, as a handful of fellow CVR club members popped up on StravaContinue reading “9/5/20: CVR Participation Series Adamant Half Marathon”
8/25/20: CVR Participation Series Barre Heritage Trail Run 5K
After a big flurry of CVR Participation Series races in June and especially July, I sat here in the later part of August with two of ten races still to go before the September 6 deadline: The Adamant Half Marathon, which I am running at the very end, and the Barre Heritage Festival 5K TrailContinue reading “8/25/20: CVR Participation Series Barre Heritage Trail Run 5K”
8/12/20: Suffrage Scramble/NSB 5K
It seems like an unreasonably short amount of time, but this year marks 100 years since women were granted the right to vote in this country. (Meaning for the first 144 years they could not – we aren’t even all that to the 50% mark of US history yet!). To mark the occasion, the CentralContinue reading “8/12/20: Suffrage Scramble/NSB 5K”
7/21/20 CVR PS Barre Town Spring Run 5K; 7/22/20 CVR PS Northfield Savings Bank 5K
My habit of training and racing without a real plan came into sharp relief this week when I found myself running 5K races on back-to-back days. I didn’t come into the week planning to do this. I didn’t really have a plan at all coming into the week. But we will get to what happenedContinue reading “7/21/20 CVR PS Barre Town Spring Run 5K; 7/22/20 CVR PS Northfield Savings Bank 5K”
7/18/20: CVR Participation Series Paul Mailman 10 Mile Race
For my next race in the CVR Participation Series, I went for another bite at the Paul Mailman Ten Miler. You may recall that this was my first-ever long race last year. You may also recall that I ran the course in honor of the cancelled race in April. Now taking it on for aContinue reading “7/18/20: CVR Participation Series Paul Mailman 10 Mile Race”
7/14/20: CVR Participation Series Capital City Stampede
One thing I am learning this summer: CVR really likes the Montpelier Bike Path. Last year I started running Tuesday Fun Runs on the bike path. The Fallen Leaves 5Ks run up and down the bike path. The Paul Mailman races go up and down the bike path. And the Capital City Stampede? Yep, theContinue reading “7/14/20: CVR Participation Series Capital City Stampede”
7/3/20: Montpelier Mile 7/9/20: Bear Swamp Run(CVR Participation Series)
It’s been awhile since I posted here. I’ve been running, but I’ve also been really busy with work. It’s a challenge to fit everything in, so the blogging has taken a back seat in recent days. However fear not, dear reader, for I HAVE been running! I’ve been getting my 20+ miles per week in.Continue reading “7/3/20: Montpelier Mile 7/9/20: Bear Swamp Run(CVR Participation Series)”
6/30/20: CVR Participation Series/Paul Mailman 5K
I am already fully embracing the CVR Participation Race series. It’s so easy to squeeze almost all of these into my regular training schedule. 5 miler at Berlin Pond on a Thursday night? Easy peasy! Midweek 5K on the Paul Mailman course in town? Can do! Today was another “gotta go to the office” day.Continue reading “6/30/20: CVR Participation Series/Paul Mailman 5K”
6/25/20: CVR Participation Series/Berlin Pond 5 Mile
As mentioned previously, Central Vermont Runners has cancelled all scheduled races through the end of August, and replaced them with what they are calling the Participation Series. The Participation Series is designed to encourage, well, participation more so than actual competition. In contrast to the previous virtual race series, the Participation Series requires participants toContinue reading “6/25/20: CVR Participation Series/Berlin Pond 5 Mile”
