5K again…

The pool will be closed this Easter Sunday so I got my 5K in this morning.

I started off slowly; my first 250 was 4:42. I hit 1000 in 18:06 and did the next couple of thousand a bit quicker; I was 1:14 at 4250 (don’t remember the seconds) and 1:36:51 at 5500 yards which is a few seconds slower than my 5K PR.

Yesterday I walked a slow 4 miles on a cold, sunny day and that evening my left side barked at me a bit when I stood in one place, but it was nothing like earlier this year.

Political House Speaker Nancy Pelosi went to Syria. Guess what? So did Republican representatives.

For much of the past week, CNN and its White House correspondent Suzanne Malveaux have offered a steady stream of inaccurate and incomplete coverage of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) trip to the Middle East and her April 3 meeting with Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad.

Please join Media Matters for America in demanding that CNN and Malveaux stop misinforming viewers about Pelosi’s trip and present all the facts. CNN’s contact information can be found in our “Take Action!” sidebar on the right.

Since April 2, Malveaux has wrongly and repeatedly claimed that Pelosi had no “standing” and was not acting in an “official capacity,” has attacked the trip as “political theater” and a “political stunt,” and has parroted the Bush administration’s attacks on Pelosi for going to Syria while ignoring the fact that a Republican-led delegation met with Assad on April 1. Most recently, Malveaux asked whether Pelosi’s trip was a “big wet kiss to President Al-Assad.”
