Wearing a Watch

I always wear a watch. I need to know the time all of the time. I guess it is my little bit of OCD, but I strongly believe in punctuality. I have a nice bracelet watch that I wear everyday. I bought it on a trip to Switzerland in April. I also have a waterproof watch that I wore when I went to swim practices. Now, that watch is perfect for running because it can count laps. When I first went to school I could not find the athletic watch and so I ran without one. After months of this, I realized that I did not know my pace.

Once I found the watch, I started wearing it all the time to figure out my pace time. I am not sure that wearing a watch is the best thing for me though. It makes me want to know my distance at every second. I would rather run for enjoyment instead of having another scheduled event in my day. Since I have come home, I allow myself to look at the time at either the end of the run or the mileage points.
