Hope you mean 175lb!

I would advise adding some weights to your routine, theres plenty of posts here if you search through. Also try some interval training with your running or fartlek training where you run fast for a minute and then run a little slower and mix it up a bit.
Your diet looks good, if I was nit picking maybe have some sweet potatoes instead of normal potatoes also make sure your have brown rice and check your portion sizes. Good luck with it!
