I am a crazy cosplayer, AND a crazy runner! So I have this new top... which am I using it for cosplay or my next big race? Either one would be pretty sweet... I may just let you decide!

I am back! Hold your excitement please ;) all last week I was gone not only running, the Walt Disney world half marathon, but I was on a 5 day cruise to the Bahamas!

It consisted of a lot of sun, and a lot of beer. Here are a few pictures, you can tune in tonight between 7 and midnight to hear the corresponding stories.
