Even the most extreme road-runners need their beauty products. So before the NYRR Airbnb Brooklyn Half Marathon last weekend, we sat down with 30 Rock's favorite fictional assistant Cerie, also known as the beautiful Katrina Bowden, to take a peek at the actor's running day essentials.

What are your go-to beauty must-haves in your race-day bag?
Waterproof mascara! I use Lancôme Définicils and Loréal Voluminous Waterproof Mascara formulas. I also make sure to have extra sunscreen (waterproof, SPF 30), Secret deodorant, EOS lip balm, extra hair times, a comb/brush, Neutrogena face wipes and Bobbi Brown concealer for after the race.

What can't you leave the house without before a big run?
My Brooks running shoes, my Garmin Forerunner 220 GPS watch, and my FlipBelt! The flip belt holds by phone, my ID and some money and lies across my hips like a waistband and doesn't budge—I love it.

Any good luck charms you can't leave home without before a race day?
I don't really have a good luck charm exactly, but I do feel a little extra special having my husband, Ben, come out to cheer me on during the race and at the finish line.

Since we got to know you well from your role on 30 Rock, do you miss it? 
I do miss it. It was such a great show to be a part of, and it really became a second family to me! I was 17 when I started on the show, so I really grew up and became who I am today while working on it. I love everyone I worked with on 30 Rock and keep in touch with them all.

Would you say your style is similar?
[Laughs] Well not exactly. I guess I do gravitate for bright fun colors like Cerie wore...but that's sort of as far as it goes! I'm a casual dresser day to day. I love denim shorts, T-shirts, bright sundresses and flats. I also can't live without my All Saints leather jacket.

What's next for you?
My new TV series Public Morals starts airing season 1 in August 2015. I star alongside Ed Burns, and it's produced by Steven Spielberg. It's an exciting new project that I can't wait for everyone to see!
