Race recap: Santa Rosa Half Marathon

Kind of a crazy day! As the rest of the internet can attest, there was a 6.0 earthquake at 3:20 in the morning, and its epicenter was in Napa, which wasn't too far from where my coworkers and I were in Santa Rosa, so we really  felt it. My hotel bed was shaking like in  The Exorcist . I was already having trouble sleeping (I don't really sleep well in hotels, especially before races), and I was pretty much wide awake after the earthquake, managing to ALMOST doze off before my alarm finally went off at 4:50am. A group of us former and current MHS teachers signed up to run this together, and for various reasons (including the earthquake!) there ended up being only four of us at the start line. It's my first race since the SJR Half in June and my first race since getting seriously back into fitness (running and Crossfit) and losing a little weight (which matters only in that it means I can run faster), so I had high hopes that I would do pretty well on this one.

Surprise!

I'm blonde now! And here's my eye makeup look. - UDPP - NYX Eye Shadow Base in white - ColourPop  Dare  all over the lid - Sugarpill Hotsy Totsy  in the crease - UD Righteous  on the browbone and blended into the crease - Stila Stay All Day Liquid Eyeliner in black - ELF Mascara Primer (dude, this is awesome and super cheap) - L'Oreal Voluminous Butterfly Midnight Black mascara Just as an FYI, everything except UD and Stila were under $15, and everything other than those and Sugarpill were under $10, so yes, you CAN do cool stuff with budget brands! with NARS lipstick in Dolce Vita and Tarte 12-Hour Amazonian Clay blush in Blushing Bride.
