About Us

About Us: My name is Greg Dawson. I’m married. I live in Chicago. I just made the switch from corporate life to freelance writing. I finished my first marathon in Chicago in 2007.

“You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.”
- Jack London

Finish First Marathon is my outlet to talk about checking off "finish first marathon" of your life's to-do list. It also covers marathon training, nutrition, shoes, apparel and equipment.

My goal is to inspire a few people to sign up for their first marathon, but more importantly, I hope I can provide the motivation to help you train for the four months required to get you across the finish line!
