I did a run but stopped my watch at a traffic light then forgot to start it again until a few minutes later. I'm not sure how long I stopped it... so in my log, should I only include the portions of the run that I timed so that my pace/mile is accurate?
Yes, it never happened. Ideally, you should estimate how long you stopped your watch for and go run that much more, so that your training will remain unaffected.
Lol. Just guesstimate the distance.

DO NOT do this. Soon you will be sitting at home guesstimating how much you would have run and not actually running at all.
I'm sure you are the only one who ever did this.
In the future, never stop running for anything, that way you won't suffer the consequences of the missing minutes.
To make things right, next time don't stop your watch when you finish your run. Wait a few minutes to make up for the bungled timing job. Then put a footnote in your training log to explain what happened, so that when we read your biography we will understand.

Yes.
For a second there, I actually thought this was a philosophical question haha.
You don't have an app for that?
When you are in a race, and have to stop for something: shoelaces, pit stop, helping a fallen runner get up, walk through an aid station while drinking, cows crossing the road, the timer keeps going.
What's the big deal? It's a training run. Lighten up.
