We welcomed you to Boston and cheered you on to your great victory:
In his debut over the marathon distance, he made one of the fastest ever debuts by winning the 2013 Dubai Marathon in a time of 2:04:45 hours. He was surprised by the quick time and said he would like to make a world record attempt in the future.[2] Three months later, in the 2013 Boston Marathon, he took the victory in a time of 2:10:22. Desisa was not hurt in the Boston Marathon bombings that occurred after his victory.

Lelisa returned his medal to our SOS John Kerry, in a show of respect and solidarity to Boston and its victims.
He will be well praised and honored here in Boston next year.
A special thanks to Mr. Kerry. His job as SOS fits him well. He continues the mission of peace for America, where SOS Clinton left off.
He continues Our President vision.
Thank you freshwest for this awesome post!
Kick and rec!
