Trying to Post Video Log With No Luck

I have spent the last week trying to put together a video log of my 31 mile long run last Saturday but have been having some issues with running my HD Flip Video in my movie making software.  When I figure it out I will put it together and post it.  I only have 3 weeks until AR50 day.  I hope I am ready.  I will do one more 20+ long run tomorrow then start my taper.  Marilyn's youngest brother gets married tomorrow so I will have to squeeze it in between the wedding and the reception. I was going to put in a long one today but did not have time, I was only able to get in 10 miles, but I put in 2 -1mile 7:30 min/mile intervals.  I plan on working in some hill and speed workouts during the first week of the taper period, this is suppose to help with endurance.  I feel my base is really strong, I have put in hundreds of miles within my aerobic training heart rate zone (130-140 ppm) in the last 5 months so starting speed work is probably in order. This may be a little late to help much with AR50 but I did not want to start to early because I would have increased my chances of getting injured.  From what I have researched, a good base is critical before starting a once a week speed workout.  Hopefully this will pay off for the remaining races this year.
