New Starter and battery, but won't start?

I have a 98' Runner, I've replaced the starter and the battery and had zero troubles until today.

I was in the parking lot at Lowes and I went to start it like usual and all I got was a click. I thought this was majorly f'd up since I just replaced the battery and starter, so I called the old man. He tells me to grab a wrench and turn the crankshaft. I turned it and then it started right up. I thought maybe this was a one time thing but the next time went to start the same thing happened. About 15 minutes of turning the crankshaft it finally started again.

I'll have to admit I'm little worried it won't start in the morning when I go to work. Anybody have some insight on this particular sitamation?

Here is a simple voltage test you can use to isolate the source of the problem:
