Episode notes
Expo Day At Dodger Stadium
- Eddie and Sally visited the LA Marathon expo at Dodger Stadium and grabbed bibs, shirts, and swag together despite a busy family weekend.
- The expo was nostalgic for Eddie because of childhood Dodger memories and it energized both of them before race day.
A Full Weekend Before The Race
- The family weekend was packed: Isaiah's 16th birthday, Makenzie's track invitational at night, then a late hotel check-in before Eddie's marathon.
- They got about four hours' sleep before race morning but relied on a planned taper week to compensate.
Bank Sleep During Taper
- Bank sleep across the taper week rather than stressing about the night before the race.
- Accept that race-night nerves often reduce sleep and rely on earlier rest to carry you through.
