Reflection #8 GPS Running Watches

When I was looking at running watches, I noticed how incredible they have become. They now have the technology to put a GPS in relatively small watches. These watches can  tracks time, distance, pace, heart rate and calories burned and even remembers recent runs and personal records. I could see this eventually being used in gym classes to monitor progress and set goals and even in physics classes to calculate the work you are doing in order to run up a flight of stairs based on your speed. They could also be used in a math class to look at the relationship between pace, distance and heart rate.
