First Kilted mile, at age 48!

5K's are kinda hard to find any more, Alan. Try going to Active.com which lists races near to you. In Maine we have the Kilted Canter 5K race put on by the Belfast Rotary every year on the Saturday of our Celtic celebration. I ran in my 5.11 kilt again this year and again made sure no one was behind me. But hey, I did better than everyone who stayed home on the couch.

Here in the Portland OR area the 5K races are quite popular.

Just found about a new one coming in September called "Portland Kilted Run" http://www.portlandkiltedrun.com/

Also in September is a 5K run at the Kelso highland games, not far from Portland http://www.kelso.gov/visitors/highlander-festival

Thanks for the tip on active.com; I'll check it out too.

Grunthos:

Congrats on the run and the progress in your fitness journey. I was there, watching from the stands. The solo piping was early in the AM and after, I sought shade to watch you lot run the track. Bravo! It was a hot day for Portland, don't you think? Best of luck for the future.

Thanks! Yes, it sure was hot!! The weatherman on TV said that this July set the record for most number of days over 90F in Portland.

I spend all winter lamenting the cold bleary drizzle, so I can't complain about a hot summer....

OOPS! I meant 10Ks are kind of rare. 5Ks seem to dominate.
