You're still a healthy BMI but you are close to being underweight. Be careful.
Ok, wow. Where to start.
First off, don't run the 5k every day. To see any real sustainable improvements you'll have to run further than a 5k at certain paces. You'll also have to run speed workouts as well. What you plan on doing right now is doing it completely wrong. In peak 5k shape for me I had some long runs as far as 8-9 miles. Variance in the workouts is key.
A good place to start is Runnersworld.com Lot's of great resources there. Use the Smartcoach tool. You can pay for it or use the free one over and over again.
Also, this book is fantastic.

It's a 3 day a week running program I swear by. It's mainly for half marathons and marathons but there are 10k and 5k programs in there as well. Also, just a good general book on running as far as diet, training routine, and stretching go.
Get good shoes. What do you run in right now?
You're trying to drop to 130? How tall are you? Is it realistic to get that light?
Honestly, if you're serious about running and you're still in HS....run XC and/or track. You'll learn a ton about running and workouts that way.
WTF? Why? My gf could beat you up dude.

Depends on the day.Okay I will check out that website and also plan on running further tomorrow, do I run for speed or endurance?
I run in a pair of Saucany Jazz shoes, really comfy and padded, their a little old and I wanted to get Nike Lunar TR+1's but it's not in the budget, so I ll have to run in those.
I'm still fucking her.. you get my point.
Bodyfat percentage.
What sites do you guys use for overall health, diet, exercise, running, etc? Is Livestrong.com any good?
I've checked mine I think I was like at 8-10%
Who are you talking to?
Honestly, at this point I go by the way I look, feel, clothes fit, how I'm running etc more than checking sites and charts all day.
My diet is pretty basic and uncomplicated. Cook a lot of low calorie, low fat meals at home. Watch my portion size. And that's pretty much it. I'm a label reading fool.

I hate Nikes, especially the Lunar line though.
