This month’s RC spotlight features an entire family of runners. Arthur and Christine Leyva are so passionate about the sport that they got a local coach to officiate their wedding and now have two kids, Flint and Artistotle, who have caught the running bug as well. They train together and support each other in pursuing some pretty lofty goals including getting into the Boston Marathon Weekend. You’ll hear all about it from them, including what they love about running and how it has brought them closer as a family.
Arthur and Christine first met through a local running group in Austin, Texas when at the time, Arthur was just starting to get into the sport. Since then, they’ve gradually become more obsessed with improving their times, and now the whole family shares that common goal. They are incredibly encouraging but also aren’t shy about a little healthy competition that makes their story even more fun. During the show, we’ll cover fun stories from their family that include:
