Our client of the month, Linda Ford, answers our Seven Super Questions! Congrats Linda and keep up the good work! Linda is coached by Maura McCrann

1. Town, State: Malden, MA
   
2. Training Focus: To break 3:30 at the 2006 Boston Marathon. Then I will shift to shorter distances. Oh and to listen to what my coach, Maura, tells me to do!
   
3. Your "A Race" for 2005: Well, I run like all my races are "A" races, which is my problem, but if I had to pick one, it was the BAA 1/2 marathon, because it was my first race that I trained for by doing EXACTLY what my training schedule dictated. The hard work paid off and I ran a 1:38:29.
   
4. #1 goal: To get faster before I get slower! My first goal is listed above, but I would also like to break 20 at a 5K. I did it once and know I can do it again!
   
5. Athletic Accomplishment You Are Most Proud Of: I like a challange, so I push myself to try things that I know won't be easy and I may not be good at. So I am proud of the fact that in 2004, I did my first sprint triathlon, won a bench press competition, consistently broke 7s in races 5 miles or under and qualified for the Boston Marathon at the Chicago Marathon.
   
6. Favorite Snack/Food: There are too many great foods to pick just one. However, I've found that the thought of certain decadent foods is more exciting than eating them - it's more like you want what you can't have. I'm lucky my husband likes to cook delicious, healthy food, so I'm always enjoying what I'm eating!
   
7. I'd rather be: so rich my family could play all day. But since that is not happening anytime soon, there is nothing I'd rather be doing - I have everything I want and need. As long as I can train and race, I'm all set!
