Blackberry Days - Day 2

Geoff's siblings have been running the American Fork Cancer Run since their mom passed away over five years ago. For one reason or another I had never been to the race with everyone. Some ran the 10K, some ran the 5K, and a group of us walked the 5K. The race volunteers had pretty much cleaned up the equipment by the time we left!

Early morning race goers...

The 10K team (Ingrid came in 3rd in her age category!)...

Some of the 5K walkers...

And my brief moment of greatness...

Everyone went their own way for a few hours. Geoff and I went to lunch with Ian, which was great having individual time with him. We went to Em's for a few hours then on to a park. I headed home during the park fun. Not many pictures from the park outing, except this picture of Geoff's dad under a group of grandkids. This could be taken anywhere on any day. He has been putting up with this human jungle gym business since his eight kids used to do it! Our kids had their turn, and now it continues on...

There is a lot of remembering of Geoff's mom during these gatherings. While waiting for the race to start, Em got a Facetime call from his mom's old number, the picture Em had associated with the number and all! Ingrid got a call from the same number. Is she up there letting us know she is a part of our lives? Maybe.  One thing is for sure, she is loved and missed.
