I have made a lot of progress with moving my support groups from online to in person. I recently contacted members of the Movin' Shoes Running Club. Hopefully, I will be able to connect with them and find additional marathon training support. I realize that many online support group users don't want to meet people in person. That is the convenience of connecting with an online support group. You don't have to commit to meeting in person at a certain time and location. You are able to go online whenever and where ever as long as you have Internet access. However, I prefer to meet in person when it comes to running because it's much easier to train in person rather than via online messaging.

I would agree with you Nicole. As nice and convenient as online support group sounds, I think for some cases a personal face to face meeting would have more meaning and possibly success.
