Definitely give PB yogurt a try. You can surely taste it, but it is not overwhelming...it depends on how much you use! But it's sooo good! :D Healthy Skeptic & In Defense of Food are two good foodie books!

I read that this past winter. As far as training plans go, there are some out there that have up to six days a week for running with one day completely dedicated to rest. You could try your hand at 5 days a week of running and one day of cross-training, like biking or swimming. Your overall fitness will improve significantly if you mix things up instead of running all the time. The body eventually adapts to running and makes itself more efficient. Changing it up also allows you to strengthen muscles not used in running and prevent injury. While I run a lot on the days that I do run, I always have at least one rest day and one cross-training day a week. It's worked for me so far (knock on wood)! :) The Road by Cormac McCarthy is a good one. I read that this past winter.
