If you don’t follow U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley (R-New Hartford, IA) on Twitter, you missed these two tweets about his weekend activities. I post them here, wondering if there’s a connection to the VFW feast on Friday and the senator’s running time on Saturday. He may have been carbo-loading Friday night.
Ate at VFW fund raiser in Wloo Fri nite. Good food fellowship with those who put lives on line to defend our freedoms
Saturday morning I ran 5K in CedarFalls Race for Cure Not proud of 32;00 time But happy to contribute
It means Grassley, who is 76 years old, ran a roughly 10 minute mile (5 kilometers is about 3.1 miles).
