I&#8217;ve been feel good, I hope I feel so good tomorrow. I hope I will be fast on the 10th, but who knows what will happen, Hartford Marathon will be a new course for me, so there&#8217;s no way of knowing what will happen. Either way, with how I&#8217;ve bee performing this month, even with a slow half marathon, I am excited for the possibilities.<br \/>\nBeyond that, my morning started watching Tottenham Hotspur beat Manc City, and then United beat Sunderland to go top of the table, and that makes things even better, Glory Glory Man United!
