Physical fitness is important to me, esp to support our vets. I ran the ACLI 5K in under 25 min this a.m. for the Wounded Warrior Project.

Sen. Dick Lugar (R-Ind.), who was defeated in his GOP primary, also ran the race for a final time before leaving office.

Just finished the 31st consecutive ACLI Capital Challenge in DC. It’s been an honor to run it all these years. twitter.com/senatorlugar/s…
