Well, I ran a 5K this morning. Not a race though. I ran really slow just as Sasha suggested, however, I ran further than he suggested for next week (see discussion forum training review requests - running/working in hot weather). It was painfully slow. He suggested 12 min miles. When I started I wasn't sure I could run that slow and not be nine months pregnant (I ran ten faster than that a couple of weeks before Bubbles was born). Eventually, I ran slow enough. I one point I was running 12:15 miles! I worked all day in the sun and got home at 10pm. I drank around 130 oz and ate bananas, carrots, nectarines and other things. I didn't get as dehydrated as last week. Thanks for the suggestion Sasha!

I've been having very good runs on Saturday mornings for two weeks now. Even though my shoulders are so tight from stress from work that I cannot even lift Bubbles without wincing, I ran well this morning. I had a meeting with my boss (for whom I have a minimum amount of high regard) on Thursday, and my trapezious muscles have been tight ever since. The retribution from my four years of reporting the actions of my stalker (harrasser, sabatour, slanderer etc) and the stalker's recent ouster is coming fast and furious. I sat through this excrutiating meeting on Thursday for my yearly evaluation. He tells me that typically, a faculty member has 1-3 pubs per year in our department and starts quizing me on when my current work will be published as if I have fallen short of the mark (he says this). The document (my review) he has in front of him shows that I have SEVEN peer-reviewed pubs including two book chapters from the past year. I also have two documents that are waiting his approval (since last fall) before I can send them out for peer review. I brought one with me to show him. He plays dumb as if he's never seen these things. However, he can't get away with this because I sent them to him through email. This is just a small picture of his ridiculous actions and statements. He continually piles as much work on me as he can even though I am one of the most productive people in his department.

Five words describe what he does: Over manage and under lead. He is ridiculous. My lawyer is going to have a field day with him and his cronies.

I may start writing more about my case if I think it will help me deal with the stress. Stay tuned.
