SQL Alert when stored procedure executes for too long

Question

I would like to set up a SQL Server 2008 Alert to notify me when any procedure executes for 1 second or longer (just an example).

Any ideas?

EDIT:

Ok

If found this on sqlservercentral (it probably for an older version of SQL Server, but still might be relevant to 2008)

Alert Procedure for Long-Running Job http://www.sqlservercentral.com/scripts/Lock+and+Connection+Management/30144/

Text below if you cant access it.

For jobs that run periodically and should take only a short time to run, a DBA may want to know when the job has been running for an excessive time. In this case, just checking to see IF the job is running won't do; the ability to make sure that it hasn't been running for a long period is needed. Matching the job id to a process id in sysprocesses requires some re-arranging of the job id to do the match. This script creates a stored procedure that will accept a job name, maximum run time allowed, and email address to notify. It will then use the job name to re-string the job number and check sysprocesses (based on the process id being part of the program name) to determine the amount of time the job has been runing, then alert if that time is over the "time allowed" parameter.

CREATE proc sp_check_job_running
    @job_name       char(50),
    @minutes_allowed    int,
    @person_to_notify   varchar(50)
AS  

DECLARE @var1           char(1),
    @process_id     char(8),
    @job_id_char        char(8),
    @minutes_running    int,
    @message_text       varchar(255)

select @job_id_char = substring(CAST(job_id AS char(50)),1,8) 
from  msdb..sysjobs
where name = @job_name

select @process_id =    substring(@job_id_char,7,2) + 
            substring(@job_id_char,5,2) +
            substring(@job_id_char,3,2) +
            substring(@job_id_char,1,2)


select @minutes_running = DATEDIFF(minute,last_batch, getdate())
from master..sysprocesses
where program_name LIKE ('%0x' + @process_id +'%')

if @minutes_running > @minutes_allowed
  BEGIN
    select @message_text = ('Job ' 
    + UPPER(SUBSTRING(@job_name,1,LEN(@job_name)))
    + ' has been running for '
    + SUBSTRING(CAST(@minutes_running AS char(5)),1,LEN(CAST(@minutes_running AS char(5))))
    + ' minutes, which is over the allowed run time of '
    + SUBSTRING(CAST(@minutes_allowed AS char(5)),1,LEN(CAST(@minutes_allowed AS char(5)))) 
    + ' minutes.')
    EXEC master..xp_sendmail 
    @recipients = @person_to_notify, 
    @message = @message_text,
        @subject = 'Long-Running Job to Check'
  END

--  Typical job step syntax for job to do the checking

execute sp_check_job_running
      'JobThatSHouldBeDoneIn5Minutes', 
       5, 
       'DBAdmin@mycompany.com'
