There's always a bad run Freemers, it's still really early for 20 milers now anyway. Hope the hip is OK, you've done some impressive mileage considering the time missed earlier this year.
Good luck cooking for 20 Minni! We'd have to have two sittings in our house to fit everyone around the table. Actually, we'd have to have three.
Check out the 2012 mileage Bro! 
High miles suits you.
There's a more 'low key' XC coming up soon that I might end up doing, if only to get a bit of mud on my sparkly spikes. I don't want to look like a total novice! As long as it doesn't clash with anything else (ie, football or parkrun) Anyway, someone has to come last 
Miscalculated my planned 6 miler today, took a detour to avoid more floods and it ended up being 7.2miles. Ooops. Unintended progressive run thanks to a strong headwind on the sligthly unhill way out and a lovely tailwind on the slightly downhill way back. The wind has got to be strong when you can actually feel it behind you, that never normally happens.
2051 miles for the year, including a handful of PBs, a dozen or so YKWs, a race that threatened to break my soul, runs through snow and rain, over ice and through floods, in glorious sunshine and against howling gales, along bypasses, footpaths, parks, trails, forests, treadmills, beaches, up hills, down hills, alone or with friends, seeing sunrises and sunsets, and a Garmin that almost conked out at the end of it all.
