To anyone who would listen, I used to say, measurement is my life. That's from someone who used to measure things for a living. Last Sunday, it was time to measure the new course for the Brunswick Marathon (BM). The the new all-purpose trail from Brunswick Lake to Plum Creek is nearly entirely complete, except for a 100-yard muddy section in the middle of the woods. With the help of some friends, I ran the whole way there and back, including a loop around the lake. With that extra mile, I can get it to come out to be just about exactly 6.55 miles.
That's an important number for this measurement because it's the distance for a quarter-marathon. That will enable BM runners to return to the start/finish area between loops as well as to quit at a half-marathon if they wish.
But then, they wouldn't get the entire BM experience.
