they're right, coolrunning.com has a great free running log!

gamblor had some great advice re fast food and team sports. I hate team sports, always have, so running/swimming/biking is way more fun to me. you just have to figure out what type of person you are.

one more thought regarding your diet. going on a diet implies a temporary thing, something that you're going to go off of. what you want to do is change the way you eat in your regular life, from now on. not eating any fast food (and maybe learning to cook) are a great way to start.

eat stuff you like, but just eat less of it. if you snack, then snack on fruit.
