Event description

Who has time for it all? Lets Network and exercise at the same time!

Meet at the Tennis Courts at Lake Padden. We will walk one lap around the lake (2.5 miles, moderate pace). Be prepared to introduce yourself and your business and bring one idea to share on how you fit it all in.

This is a rain or shine event! Bring your boots, raincoat and a flashlight!

    Yeah, Delaine! I haven't walked the Lake for awhile. I used to live 1.5 miles from there and did so frequently. I love it. Thanks for the great idea. See you then! Warmly, Meredith

    Great to see you ladies are joining me! We can talk and walk instead of talk and eat!

    am going to see if I can juggle a few things to make this event - I have NEVER walked around Lake Padden. I saw it once...... sounds like the size of Greenlake in Seattle.. just under 3 miles for GL.

    Great idea, Delaine!

    What a great idea I wish I got off work earlier. I hope you have another later one when the days are longer so I could go (: Lori Padden is great as there are not a lot of big hills and it is beautiful around the lake. Just be prepared for some mud. Bliss

    Yes we will do it again I'm sure! I am over at Padden all the time. It is so nice to have such a beautiful spot so close!

    Hi, Delaine, I apologize for having to cancel, but as a new volunteer at the MT. Baker Theater, I just got called to help on Thursday for Annie and have to be there at 5:30, all dressed up. It might be cutting it a little close to walk, drive all the way home to change, and get down there. I do want to do this again, though! Great idea. When it gets dark later, we can do it after 5:30 or 6:00 for those who can't come during business hours.

    Cheers! Meredith

    This may sounds funny but when it's not raining I like to walk and read. I seem to read faster that way. I believe the same applies to walking and talking so be aware and if I get rattling too much just shut me down okay? Looking forward to listening as well.

    Delaine, I'm so sorry but I'm not going to make it. I'm running out of steam and I've got some errands I've still got to run this afternoon....

    It was fun to see you at WPN this morning!

    HI Delaine....

    I have a writer's group I like to tuck into on Tuesdays or thursdays. Since I live in LaConner, I am not too nearby, but I will try to go to writers practice in Fairhaven and then meet for a walk--my favorite activity! Walking and talking bizness .. how cool.

    thanks for the opportunity. I'll sign up over the weekend when I see my next week's schedule more clearly.

    cheers, and keep on walkin'!

    Nice walk around the lake with Naomi, Ellen, and cute little dog! Beautiful weather and good conversation. I hope to do more of these in the future.

    Hi Delaine Thank you for hosting this event, it was exhilarating. I enjoyed meeting you and Naomi (and Andy). The fresh air opened my mind to possibilities. This is an activity that can be enjoyed by two or one hundred and two.

    Thanks Delaine for hosting this fun event! It was really great to meet you Ellen. Andy and I were both tired when we got home, but we enjoyed the walk so much. Next, time I'm bringing my camera along!

    I wish I had known about the walk in time to join you. I will be on the lookout for another opportunity to walk.

  • Lori Richardson
    Posted by Lori Richardson, Bellingham, Washington | Feb 10, 2009

    yes, it would be fun to have at least a monthly regularly scheduled Biznik walk - anyone else game??

  • Lori Richardson
    Posted by Lori Richardson, Bellingham, Washington | Feb 10, 2009

    in fact, now that we are in the Semiahmoo neighborhood, I propose a walk up here - park at the resort, and walk down the spit and back - then have coffee or tea??

  • Delaine Clizbe
    Posted by Delaine Clizbe, Bellingham, Washington | Feb 10, 2009

    Nancy, I'll keep you posted. I will be setting up another one of these walks as weather improves. Snowing today at Padden!

    Naomi, It was fun meeting Andy too! He is a good walking buddy!

  • Delaine Clizbe
    Posted by Delaine Clizbe, Bellingham, Washington | Feb 10, 2009

    Lori, I am always game for getting outside! The spit is a beautiful place to walk.

  • Nancy LaMont
    Posted by Nancy LaMont, Marysville, Washington | Feb 10, 2009

    Thanks Delaine, I think a monthly or even more often is a great idea. Maybe we can take turns hosting the event in the areas in which we live.

  • Lori Richardson
    Posted by Lori Richardson, Bellingham, Washington | Feb 10, 2009

    OK, I would love to host the next one - what is a good time / day for those of you interested at this point? If we get a few sign ups early, there is sure to be more interest - plus, people may want to carpool here, although it is just about 19 miles from B'ham.

  • Nancy LaMont
    Posted by Nancy LaMont, Marysville, Washington | Feb 10, 2009

    Monday and Tuesday work for me all this month, any time works too. I am on the list for hosting one... I think we need to decide if we want to stay with monthly or, since spring/summer is soon to arrive, do we want to try weekly or bi-weekly. Delaine, since you are the original host, I feel we should respect that and all work with your thoughts on this.

  • Delaine Clizbe
    Posted by Delaine Clizbe, Bellingham, Washington | Feb 10, 2009

    Thanks Nancy, I am open to monthly/biweekly! Different hosts would be great too! I am usually open except for Wed evenings have an ongoing commitment.

  • Lori Richardson
    Posted by Lori Richardson, Bellingham, Washington | Feb 13, 2009

    OK, just posted one - is pending approval for Tuesday, 2/24 3:30 at Semiahmoo. hope some folks can make it!
