If I were to drink a lot of soda right now, would I feel the effect 4 months from now in a race like the mile? Or does it make you slow in the shirt term?

No
Then you should be fine. Drink up, my friend.
It is sugar and water. Your body needs both daily.

You dope.... Go pour water and sugar on your car... nothing will happen.
Now do the same with a can of Coke.
The human body doesn't crave paint removing liquid.
As long as you don't drink so much that you get fat.

I'm pretty sure the human body does crave water. Try taking a physiology class. You'll learn about things like Aldosterone and ADH.
Not as much as in the middle term.
Training wise, I can think of only two downsides:
1. Drink enough that you gain weight. No elaboration needed,
2. The carbonation or glucose high affect your training. There's no reason you should be drinking soda. But if you MUST, adjust accordingly so these things don't affect your sessions.

1. A can of coke has 150 calories. A mile takes about 100 calories to run. A pound of fat has 3500 calories. Coke isn't making you fat if you run more than 40mpw.
2. Carbonation does not affect training. Glucose is the fuel that your muscles use to run fast.
There is no problem with soda and training. Where do you people get this stuff??
For me it caused a lot of bloat. I waned off caffeine using caffeinated crystal light. Before long I had no more cravings and switched over to water mostly.
Eat a lot of broccoli. Soda can't do any damage that broccoli can't offset. Broccoli is the new kale:

or paint.
I go through periods of no soda or caffeine or lots of KickStart (90mg caffeine, 80calories for 16 fl oz).
Easiest way to ween off the soda/caffeine is Viter Energy mints (http://store.goviter.com) and drinking seltzer. I just use the mints to avoid the caffeine withdrawal headaches and reduce them to not needing them.
I find no effect on my training or running. But I do feel a lot better going caffeine free. No crashes and level energy throughout the day.
If you ever drink one sip of soda, you will eventually develop cancer because of that sip.
