Now he's a two-time Boston finisher, Abbott Six Star chaser, and Berlin PR holder (3:11) — and on April 20, 2026, he's heading back to Hopkinton with one goal: a clean, healthy sub-3:20. In this episode of our Boston Bound: DFW's Road to Hopkinton series, Bobby opens up about qualifying for Boston with a razor-thin margin, getting cut not once but twice, running two marathons in four weeks, catching COVID in peak week, and how running with the Endorphins group at White Rock Lake reignited his Boston fire. He even ran Tokyo — as a long training run — just weeks before race day. Perfect for: marathon runners, Boston qualifiers, Abbott Six Star chasers, late bloomers, and anyone who knows the sting of being cut from the field you earned. 📬 Newsletter: dfwrunningtalk.substack.com 🏅 Panther City Ultra May 16 | Code: DFW for 10% off | Rise Racing Co.
