Hallie Patel and I met via Instagram. She's local to the Indianapolis area, where I'm from, so we got to sit down in-person for this interview.

During this episode, sponsored by Foot Levelers, we talk about:

• Our marathon medals you have to watch the video to see

• The New York City Marathon - Hallie’s first marathon ever in 2025

• Why she decided to run her first marathon

• Her first half marathon at the 500 Festival Indy Mini

• How getting cut from the high school volleyball team is what got her into running (and how she ended up meeting her husband, Suketu)

• Their videography business and quitting corporate America to follow their dreams

• Their podcast, Half Past Chai

• The biggest challenge she had to overcome in her multicultural marriage

• Goals heading into the LA Marathon in March

• Fueling and race day outfits
