Can I get a watch that works right!?!

Today I ran...

Emilia and Lindsay went for a 6 mile run this afternoon, leaving me at the house with Olivia, Jenna and Maggie. This was the first time they ran 6 miles and they were gone for a long time. After they got back, I decided to get a quick run in before Lindsay took off, so I grabbed my running gear, Emilia set up her watch for timing purposes and off I went. I ran the 2+ mile loop at Millennium Park and everything was going well. I ran one minute and walked one minute, which is part of the program that I am using to get into running shape. I had a great pace going, when I ran past a guy, and he asked me what time it was.

No big deal right? I hit the mode button on Emilia's watch, told the guy the time (which I later realized was 2 hours off, not sure why Emilia had the time set wrong), and hit the mode button back to the timer. My running time was gone!!! No big deal right, I'll just restart the time and not miss a beat. Nope, this idiot could not figure out how to get the timer started again and I spent 2 or 3 minutes trying to get it to go. So I was frustrated, but I finally just put it back to the watch setting and ran using the watch. So I ran over 2 miles in what I estimated as around 25 minutes.

I was happy with it, but need to start to improve my time over the next two weeks. My goal right now is 10 minute miles, but we shall see.

I am going to try to get out again on Sunday, to make up for the run I missed on Thursday.
