Olympian Marielle Hall and I have a few things in common. We both navigated the pandemic living solo, for starters. We both also have spent a chunk of our lives in the northeast. And, we also both love running, she just does it a lot faster than me. In episode 136, we chat about her upbringing and love for all things active from a young age, what it was like to run in college in Texas, and her path to the 2016 Olympic Games. We also talk about her recent pieces for Runner's World, and she gives me her honest feedback on how she feels about the Olympics being pushed back. One note: We recorded this last Thursday, November 5, 2020, and it’s really, really insane how much can change in four days.
