Event description

Join us for a relaxing walk around Capitol Lake overlooking Olympia's historic Capitol Hill.

If you're like me, you spend too much of your day sitting in front of a computer, on the telephone, or in a car. It's very difficult as an indie business person to balance work and personal time, particularly when it comes to exercise.

Check out what one of our newest attendees, had to say about our last Walk & Talk:

I really enjoyed the walk and talk. Being both a busy single mom, and also a business woman, I found that exercise time is a rare commodity, but something that is more and more important to me. I found that with my new focus on health, having business meetings at lunch or in coffee shops was going against my fitness goals.

The Biznik Walk and Talk was fantastic last week. The pace of the walk was easy ( no competition or race) and the ideas flowed freely as we began to understand each others businesses better.

I would suggest this event to anyone who wants a little more fresh air, and a new way of doing business to join us for this wonderful free event. You heart and lungs, plus your business will thank you for it!

This will be a regular event, every Monday, throughout the summer season.

Of course, this is a casual event, but sometimes the best business ideas come out of getting a breath of fresh air and chatting with friends.

The only rules are:

  • Cell phones off (or at least on "stun")
  • Bring a good pair of walking shoes
  • Bring your thinking cap to help your fellow Bizniks

Dogs are optional, but welcome -- and no, you do not need to RSVP for them too :)

    I love the new title "NetWalking"! 5:30 is a hard time for me to make, so again I won't be able to make it today. Sorry!

    After speaking with Russ, he suggested doing an additional Walk and Talk at Noon on Tuesday or on Wednesday... I was thinking Tumwater Falls loop. Any feedback would be appreciated. Happy trails!

    You choose the day, Jeff. Don't worry about my schedule. There have to be some events that I don't attend :)

    That was awesome tonight, everyone! Lots of energy. Two trips around the lake. Let's keep this growing!
