Show Notes
During this time “Hodgiesan” traveled to Japan four times to compete in several iconic marathons and road races. His Olympic dreams stayed alive as he competed in the ‘84 and ‘88 marathon trials. He planned for his last race as a journeyman pro to be the ‘88 track trials. After that the plan was to finish school and get a “real” job. After the ‘88 track trials however Bob had one more offer to travel to Japan for one “last” race. Bob’s wife Frannie jokingly matched the offer and the trip never happened!
