I recently had my first in person race in a year, a Valentines Day 5k. It was so nice to have an actual race again. There is another one of the same series on March 14th. Nothing fancy, no medals or swag but a real race!!!! I hope you get to do your March trail race.

There are still no races going on here.<br />I've been really picky lately with ambassadorships because most just want to give it to anyone they know just so they can give their discount code out AND free advertising. If 100's of people are going to advertise your product for free, than why not have them as ambassadors?...lol<br />Have a great weekend Wendy!

I heard someone complain when a delivery person wasn’t driving with their mask on (although I don’t think the risk of breathing on packages is that high), so maybe delivery drivers are encouraged to mask up, but I don’t understand others.

Florida has a different take on things, as I'm sure you know.<br /><br />I'm back on the RoadID team. It was one of my favorite ambassadorships last year, and I am happy to have a FB group and more interaction this year.<br /><br />I think right now, we are all at the of our ropes. I get super frustrated and annoyed about all the things. we are all worn out and fatigued.
