#40 | Rebecca Garza aka @latinarunner01

Meet Rebecca Garza! Rebecca first started running in middle school but was sidelined her junior year in high school with an ACL tear. It wasn't until after the birth of her first child that Rebecca decided to start running again. First, she was hooked on the competition and challenges of Orange Theory. But there was no turning back after he husband surprised her with a treadmill for Christmas in 2018. She ran three half marathons in 2019 (the one she ran for fun ended up with her nabbing a then-PR of 1:36:13) and finished out the year with a trail marathon in San Francisco! Find out how, with the help of Starla Garcia, Rebecca BQ'd when she ran her first road marathon, how she PR'd just last weekend in the Cypress Half, and what keeps her running.
