Want to keep EPUB books from Overdrive longer than their limit?

1. Download your book from your library. See search.overdrive.com

4. Unzip the file

5. Open Calibre
Preferences> Plugins

Load plugin from file,
Browse to the zip gile from step 3.
Select ineptepub_v01.7_plugin

6. In calibre Cick Add Books, then browse to the epub you want. For me these are in the folder:
C:\Users\\Documents\My Digital Editions

It copy the book into a folder in Calibre library.
Click the open link next to path on the right side to browse to the new epub folder.

7. Copy the epub to iTunes if you want to use iBooks

This worked for me on a Windows 7 64 bit system.

2012 Middle Half marathon

I set out this summer to hit my goal of 1:30 for the Middle Half marathon in Murfreesboro, but bronchitis in September took a lot out of me. I actually feel really good about my time considering that I really didn't train well.

I finished 50th overall, and my average pace was 7:23.

Congrats to Stephano finishing under his goal of 2:00 with a time of 1:56:09.
