well to get up your running endurance I would suggest running. To get toned just lift a low amount of weight with a lot of reps to tone yourself. I would suggest doing chest and biceps because they stand out when people see you

run.

and eat sensibly. not necessarily like you would if you were in season, well, if you want, you could.

but work on your cardio for the endurance, and lift some to get toned.

how far and often should i run? I was thinking about 5 miles every day. Also how much weight are we talking for becoming toned? Like 50lbs?

as you probably know, try and work out in the morning
the more you workout the more intake you should be having
also 5 smaller meals a day is advised, rather then 3 larger ones

depends on the exercise. For bench press if you can do 135 lbs for 3 sets of 10 then I'd say do 3 sets of 15-20 reps with 100 lbs on. Whatever weight you can do 15-20 reps with for other exercises
