[development] Cron run exceeded the time limit and was aborted.

[nan wich]

I have a function that runs a few updates and displays a list of what it did. 
In 
order to get caught up from a long period of neglect, I decided to add it into 
the hook_cron. Every time I invoke cron, I get "Cron run exceeded the time 
limit 
and was aborted" yet it completes in far less than 30 seconds. Any ideas how my 
code could be inadvertantly triggering this?
