Bib No. 29394 was listed as belonging to Daniel from Michigan, but you may know him better as Dan from Mississippi.
Apparently, mentoring a Heisman Trophy winner at Florida and leading Mississippi State to a 55-35 record over the past seven seasons didn’t make coach Dan Mullen immune to registration errors, as he was mistakenly given a postal code of MI and not MS.
But nevertheless, Mullen soldiered on Monday morning, representing the Magnolia State in the Boston Marathon, finishing 26.2 miles in a time of 4 hours, 28 minutes and 35 seconds.
For Mullen, who turns 44 later this month, the plan to run a marathon has been nearly a year in the making, although he wasn’t able to start training in earnest until after the season was over in January.
