Out on the kayak today because the weather was great! Added bonus, private pond so no risk of plague. #kayak #kayaking #imdoingmypart #kayaking🚣 https://www.instagram.com/p/B-LZkolDD8e/?igshid=pqcmgl1kxy9j

Fit test for the 'skirt' part of Phoenix Protocol!! It's gonna need a lot of structure to get it to stand up and away from me but the shape is good. Glad I had bought extra of the suede to play with! I see some minor issues when I move that need to be addressed. #phoenixprotocol #destiny #destiny2 #cosplay #costume #workinprogress #test #dragonconprep https://www.instagram.com/p/B9vQbLCjZuW/?igshid=28a2jvg2s228

Just took two and a half minutes off my 5k, how's your Saturday night going? In all honesty it's amazing what motivation can do, not just for a workout but for your life. I don't want to stand on a soapbox and tell you to get yourself together, but I know I needed the kick in the pants so if you've been waiting to do whatever it is, consider this your invitation to get started. #5k #5krun #runnersofinstagram #runningmotivation #motivation #motivated #make2020youryear #redhead #redhair #loveyourself #motivateyourself https://www.instagram.com/p/B8m7Is8DePL/?igshid=lhcc0riy61y5

Finally have a (very) rough vector image for my weapon for my costume. It still needs a lot of work before I can even redraw it with straight lines and to scale but it's a start! #destiny2 #destiny #riskrunner #dragonconprep #cosplay #costume #workinprogress #sketch #letsdothis https://www.instagram.com/p/B8b_Lrxjbfb/?igshid=zg0vchli5jrm

Little more Destiny progress, this time a draft of my leg armor. Hopefully I'll have time later in the week to look at it with fresh eyes and give it another revision. #destiny2 #cosplay #costume #reveriedawn #workinprogress #dragonconprep https://www.instagram.com/p/B7zrCjKjKKH/?igshid=1hckznyosyi4g
