#planc

 “Life is what happens to us while we are making other plans.” 

Early in our friendship, we knew we shared a common desire to live our lives to the fullest. We have a tendency to pull each other into endless adventures as we uncover new interests and goals - everything from laughter yoga to pole dancing to marathons (and sooo much more). 

One goal we've consistently shared has been travel - especially to the places we have always dreamed about visiting. In 2017 we made it to Shawna's dream destination... Jamaica! Since that time we've been planning another big trip to Denise's dream destination... Australia. (Adrienne's dream destination is Italy). 

Unfortunately the pandemic put a hard stop to our plans to head down under when the borders closed to international travelers. But pirates are tough to be deterred. We jumped right into Plan B. We came up with alternatives and our Pirate Life mateys (that's you!) voted on their favorites. Our new destination? Nantucket!! 

And then Tropical Storm Henri showed up. When the path of the storm coincided with our route to Nantucket, we knew we had to pivot yet again. Time for #planc (aka... Plan C. You'll hear more about that on the podcast). We ended up connecting with great friends who rented us their apartment right on Seneca Lake, part of the Finger Lakes region of New York. 

We spent a beautiful week visiting wineries, hiking to awe-inspiring waterfalls, hopping fences, feeding goats, and enjoying the Finger Lakes! Check out our newest episode to hear about our adventures! 

Australia will happen eventually, but until then, we are thankful for the fun and laughter we can share at any destination!

Pirate Intention 4: Share Your Booty

Earlier this year we committed to running the Pirate Unicorn Marathon 2.0 after the encouraging words of Matthew Scoletti. Unfortunately later this summer we found were lacking one important ingredient... motivation to run.

We struggled to come up with an alternate as our training time dwindled. Our compromise? The Pirate Unicorn Ten Miler (or PUTM)! We also decided to making PUTM a fundraiser for Central Penn College's Raise The Roof campaign to combat homelessness and housing insecurity. We set a goal to collect $10 and ten items (shampoo, deodorant, etc.) for each of the ten miles we would run. 

This past weekend we arrived at Wildwood Lake, and just as we were getting started, we had a surprise visit from Derek (yes, the #noexcuses/our favorite trainer and mentor Derek)! Nothing is random, and we can't even express how awesome it was to see him at the starting line! 

PUTM and our mission to Raise The Roof falls right in line with our latest episode of the Pirate Life Podcast where we discuss the fourth pirate intention... SHARE YOUR BOOTY. Basically this intention is about finding ways to give back (which includes everything from major fundraising initiatives to holding  a door for someone). In the episode we talk about some of our favorite fundraising adventures and why "sharing your booty" is such an important part of living the pirate life.
