Can you help me find a running watch?

My big thing these days is trying to keep up with my training for the Sun Run (don't ask me why I even signed up for this, I hate running) but I've been to 3 training clinics of 19 so far and ALL my homework (twice a week) PERFECT ATTENDANCE so far!
If you know me, you know I like all the gadgets that go along with whatever I'm obsessed with at the moment (think "magpie") so now I need a watch that beeps intervals when I'm running .. as in, "walk 2 min, run 3 min, repeat 6 times". I bought a Timex Ironman ladies that was only moderately ugly, but I can't hear the beep and the display is tiny. And this was without being attached to 2 dogs while running .. the only thing to drown out the little beep was my panting and gasping for air ... so if you can suggest a brand name watch (I don't need the fancy heart beat stuff but I'll take it if I have to) for a watch that does intervals that I can actually HEAR, please let me know! 'cause any excuse to quit this running thing, I'll take it. Consider it your good karma to help me keep running.

Post #2 - with title!

Hey I found out how to title this one! Yay!
Well, I'm finally joined the 21st century, or whatever one we're in, I have a blog! Who knows if anyone will want to follow this .. even my husband Rick won't have time, lord knows he doesn't read half the emails I send him ... anyway I thought I would give this a go, sometimes Facebook just isn't enough (never thought I would say that) ....
