My friend Erin just added the most amazing piece of equipment to her running gear collection, a selfie stick… Yes, I said it, a selfie stick… complete with a Bluetooth remote control.

For months, our MRTT group and I have been posting group-run selfies that Erin is kind enough to take. I let her think that her arms were longer than mine, so I wouldn’t be the person in front. It’s scary up there, people! Noses are bigger, wrinkles are more prominent, and sometimes half of your face falls off!

On our Thursday run, I mentioned that I saw a picture on Instagram that looked like it had been taken with a selfie stick because the camera wasn’t right in front of the photographer’s face. Erin went home and ordered this one from Amazon for less than $10; and then posted to our Facebook page that it was on it’s way! The girls were all atwitter!
Bright and early Saturday morning we met for our first group run with Erin’s fabulous new piece of equipment. And of course, I had to document the historic moment that Erin took her first MRTT selfie with her new stick.

After our run, when all of the runners got back to the parking lot, Erin took our first ever group selfie. I’m sure it won’t be the last!

We were so excited about the selfie stick that we jumped for joy!
- Questions:
- Did you even know that such a thing as a selfie stick existed?
- Who raced this weekend?
OMG, that is awesome. You aren’t going to tell us where you got it???

Erin ordered it from Amazon and I linked it! I’ll go edit my post so it’s more clear.
Had no clue there was such a thing. Amazing!
I have no idea where I heard of it first, but I’m amazed that someone actually thought, “I’m going to invent an aid for taking selfies.”
I almost don’t have words!!!
Who knew?! And, I wish I would have invented this:)

I’ve never heard of a selfie stick but that’s equally hilarious and brilliant! Love your shots, especially the jumping one!

If we’re lucky and Erin has a place to store it during the race, perhaps she will bring it with her to the Leesburg 20K. Oh wait, Bill will be with me and he will take our group pictures like he did at the Reston 10-Miler!
OH – I will FIND a place for the 20k. This is a very important piece of running equipment. ;o)
I LOVE this so much!!! So fun!

Ha that is awesome. I’m not a big selfie guy but that seems like a wonderful contraption for those that take a lot of selfies.

The only thing better would be a tiny drone to hold your phone exactly where you wanted it!
Oh, that is too much! And I love the name!

You are so fun!!
Um, so are you! Without your fabulously fun purchase there would have been no story! 🙂
That selfie stick is too funny… where do you PUT it, though, when you’re not using it?!

So far Erin has been putting it back in her car. She uses a Camelback so she’s looking at ways to strap the selfie stick to it.
This is GREAT! Thanks for sharing about this nifty new device. Love the new blog look too!
Thanks, the new blog look is a work in progress. There are definitely some kinks I’m still working out!
This is hilarious! I never knew such a tool existed. Very useful, especially when you want to take a selfie with a group!
