| Ron, far right during the early parts of Seminole Trail Run earlier this month. |
A couple of
weeks ago my sister-in-law Michele
sent an email which simply stated, “Check
out Ron from the Page of Today’s Sport Section and this link: http://www2.highlandstoday.com/content/2011/mar/08/LBNEWSO1-seminole-trail-run-proves-challenging/areasports/
The above photo appeared marking the article and all I could think was:

The above photo appeared marking the article and all I could think was:
"How cool is
that?" (Yay Ron!) Ron just won the Master's division of his first trail race!
My brother,
Ron Bednosky lives with Michele and their two kitties in Sebring, Florida.
He
has been running on and off for awhile and enters short races when
convenient-yet I think his Master’s win at this trail run was wonderful…and if
you look carefully at the photo, you can see his is wearing Montrail’s
Fairhavens!

| Kitties: Oldie Felix to the left and crazier Lucy on the right! |
This
inaugural trail run took place at nearby Sun ‘N Lake Preserve and attracted
around 40 runners. When I heard of Ron’s participation I emailed and he agreed
to be “interviewed” for this blog:
A: How long
have you been running?
R: I have
been running half heartedly for a number of years but started running 5k’s 2
years ago.
A: How much
do you run?
R: I try to
run 2 times a week, usually 3 miles each.
A: How much
have you ever run at one time?
R: 3.2
miles!
A: What
made you choose to run this new trail race?
R: I got a
flyer from a 5k that I ran 2 weeks before this one, sounded like fun and
thought of my Sister
A: What were you pleased about?
R: I was
pleased that it was a small field and I had a chance to do ok
A: What would you do over if you
could?
R: Run
faster!

| Closing in to the finish line at Seminole Trail 5k. |
A: You won
the Master's category! (Congratulations!!!) What did it feel like to be a
Champion?
R: Well, it was
the first time I've been referred to as a "Master" but it felt good
to place
A: What do you eat before a race?
R: I
usually just have a banana and a cereal bar before a race
A: Do you
prefer road or trail?
R: I think
I like the road races better, I guess that's what I'm used to...
A: What
sort of outdoor activities do you like to do?
R: I
enjoy canoe and kayak tripping, cycling, fishing, hiking, working outside.

| George took this photo of Ron last year on a trip they took together...And YES, Ron made this kayak! |
 |
| Ron doesn't let pouring rain stop his cool adventures! |
R: I drive
an Engineering transporter for Honda in the IndyCar series, it keeps me on the
road alot, but I enjoy it.
 |
| Evidence of his real job: Ron drives this truck across the country several times a year! |
A: What is
on your "ipod" play list?
R: Well, I
have a total of 13633 songs on my Ipod( thanks to DJ brother in law) so alot of
stuff I'm not sure of, but every Rush song recorded is on there!
A: Wine or
beer?
R: Beer,
then wine
A: Hammock
or "doing stuff"
R: Doing
stuff, but of course not neglecting the hammock too.
A: What
shoes did you wear to race?
R: Montrail
Fairhaven
A: Please
share 5 parts of a perfect day!
R:
Canoeing, no wind, hungry fish, campfire, nice sunset
A: Wow!
Thanks Bro for talking with me! You are always having cool, new adventures…and
I wish you many perfect days!
