I'm confused about this post. You're asking advice about dropping your calories to a dangerously low number, in which everyone has responded that it's not a good idea.

Although it may be difficult to do, I make myself get up before work and get my running in. I found that it was easier to make excuses not to go in the evening, and sometimes like just gets in the way too. Committing to doing it first thing in the morning is the best way to go for me.

You can buy it at GNC, Cost Plus, online, etc. I've tried several flavors - my favorites are strawberry and vanilla. Chocolate and banana are good too.

I live in a condo downtown and love running on the Riverwalk. South of downtown is great - very few tourists travel south of the River Center Plaza area so you can enjoy a great path without the crowds. I also run Leon Creek and Salado Creek greenways too. Both have nice easy, paved paths. :-)
