Thanks guys, im going to start running every other day. I didnt know how dangerous it was to run too often.
As for the shoes, I use the Nike Plus system. A chip is actually inside the sole of my shoe and a sensor is connected to my Ipod Nano. As I run and listen to music, the Ipod keeps track of calories, pace, and miles. Its very motivational but somewhat expensive (about $300 for shoes, ipod, sensor), but would recommend it to anyone.
For every five miles I was burning 700 calories, so I try to take in about 700 calories of food everyday. I cut back my meal portions to do so. My diet probably isnt healthy because I am eating much less than I normally would, but im eating healthier foods (a LOT of water, skim milk w/whey protein, wheat breads, oats, tuna, low carb foods, ect.) but I was told that if you burn more calories than you take in per day, you will lose weight fast.
