Triple Dog Dare | Spinning Class

by Carole Hicks on January 12, 2010

I thrive in community…I think most of us do. It’s no secret I am in love with Twitter. It’s like I belong to a village and someone is always awake and available 24/7.

There have been times in my life when I’ve felt terribly alone. In this season of life I often feel terribly alone…starting my own business BY MYSELF…cheering my husband on from the sidelines as he studies to get his Masters’ Degree. It gets downright depressing sometimes. However, I’m finding that starting my day with serious cardio…spinning class specifically…releases the yummiest endorphines and I then go sailing through my day. But my body doesn’t always want to leave the comfort and warmth to brave the cold to drive to the gym. Therefore I typically have an argument with mySELF every morning and it is often a struggle to get going. I’ve found the social via Social Media — my Twitter Community/Family.

Typically, I post something like “Will someone PLEEEEEZE double dog dare me to go to spinning class?!” The replies are heart-warming:

We are Family.

We are Family.

And, by the way, YES! I did make it to spin class this morning.

I so agree with you.
as a work at home full time mom Ive found twitter to be the amazing “water cooler” I never really had at my other jobs!

I feel the very same way. Without my twitter friend/community I would be lost.

TY, and get your butt to spinning class, or else!
