Is there a way to get a report of all the instances I've started and stopped in the past week? I'm more interested in seeing the individual running time of each.

AWS has a service called CloudTrail - http://aws.amazon.com/cloudtrail/
It basically logs all of the AWS API calls made to your account and writes them to an S3 bucket. You can parse the output and look for requests to start/stop instances, based on whatever filter you like.
As mentioned by @Brad, you can view historical info via the billing information. From the amazon console, click your username (top right) and choose "Billing and cost management". Select Reports-> AWS Usage reports.
Choose the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud service, and the time frame you need.

The only place that will have data other than CloudTrail is in the billing console. It provides reports that explain charges.

This is perfect, but I didn't have it turned on until just now, so I can't see past data. You don't know of any Amazon metrics systems that are turned on by default, do you? – jaynp – 2014-11-02T17:23:08.743
