(Mostly) Finishing up 2023

My intention is to be focused on the present with this blog in 2024, but a big part of our history here is race recaps, and it feels unfinished with all the missing races in 2023. So rather than reflections on last weekend’s long run, let’s get caught up. 9/2/23: Northfield 5K: Things seemed toContinue reading “(Mostly) Finishing up 2023”

9/21/22: Sodom Pond

The fall race season moves on. Next up, the Sodom Pond Four Mile race in the funky little village of Adamant. This is another CVR mainstay. I think of Sodom Pond as the little sibling to the Berlin Pond Five Miler. They are very similar: midweek races that start off going up and down aContinue reading “9/21/22: Sodom Pond”

2021 Year in Review: July to September

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”

9/18/19: Sodom Pond 4-mile

Just three days after the Genny Tenny was the next race in the 2019 series: a short drive to Adamant, Vermont, for the Sodom Pond 4-mile race. It’s similar to the Berlin Pond race, a loop around a pond with some hills at the start and then pretty flat the rest of the way. ExceptContinue reading “9/18/19: Sodom Pond 4-mile”
