Richmonders (and others) - Canal Walk?

Ok, I am posting this at the risk of sounding like a huge dork ....

Has anyone ever done the Canal Walk in Richmond? Does anyone want to? I don't know much about it, because I just moved to Richmond, but I'm always looking for fun things to do that don't involve eating Anyone interested in giving it a try? It says it's 1.25 miles - I don't know if that's one way or round trip.

I was thinking maybe a Saturday morning or a Sunday afternoon? If you're interested, let me know - reply here, PM me, or send me an email at [email protected] and we'll set it up!

Hey sweetie!  Even living right around the corner, I have never been on the Canal Walk, but have wanted too.  Maybe after the surgery, we can meet somewhere up there, and talk a stab at it.  Of course, you know Cameron will want to come.  Once this weight starts coming off, I want to start doing so much.  I wanna take Cam to Maymont, since it's been years since I've been there, and the zoo in Amelia.  We can always do some picnic lunches.  Here's to a great summer!!! Hugs

i go frequently.  it is a beautiful view and a nice walk.  sometimes i do it three of four times.  i also love going to belle island.  its a nice nature walk and we take the dogs.  let me know when you are thinking about going. tam

I'm up for it!  I have yet to do the canal walk since moving here a DECADE ago (how sad is that).  I would really love to get together to do more things with the Richmond/local people who are on the boards too.  it would be nice if we could get a whole group of us together.  :)

You know I am so up for it after the surgery.  Lord....  a week from today.  I am so scared.  More scared then I thought I'd be.  But....  I can not wait to lose the weight so I can have a more active life.  I look forward to more outings with you and Sarah.  We can conquer that Canal Walk!!! Hugs

Girl, once you get past this surgery, the Canal Walk is gonna seem like nothing to you! You'll be begging us to keep on going! ;)

God girl... One can hope because on some days, I feel like going upstairs to shower is a feat.  But soon enough, my friend, you will be right behind me!!

I think so, too! I have this vague idea of organizing something fun to do maybe once a month.... you know, random stuff like bowling or going to the science museum and seeing an IMAX show or having a game night or going to a baseball game.  I'm such a dork, but there so much out there that I never do b/c I get into a routine of going out to dinner as the only social thing there is to do.  I am determined to find others!

That sounds like so much fun.  I have my calendar, a bunch of dates for festivals, carnivals and things like that that I want to do this year since I will actually be able to do them.  I know one big one for me is the Tomato Festival in July.  Not sure if you know but there is a tomato called the Hanover Tomato and the county I live in praises it once a summer.  And you say you are a dork!  Ha!!  We have a few others too.  And funny you mention the baseball game.  I am buying tickets for Cam for is birtnday for a Richmond Braves game since this is their last year here.  Blah!  But you know that if us girls start planning things, since Cam is such a flirt, he's gonna want to be right there with us!!!  He is really smitten with you & Lauren!!  I think we are all going to have a GREAT summer!!!

Oh please...where I grew up, there's a garlic festival!  And almost every year of my life I have cooked pancakes at the maple sugar festival, so a tomato festival seems perfectly normal to me :)  Those things definitely sound like fun - we need to be taking advantage of all of this excitement going on around us!
