Sadly, I already registered for the Santa Monica-Venice Holiday run on Saturday morning and won’t be able to make the opening of the 17th Street Protected Bike Lanes party. However, I do love “running into” Santa Monica Next readers so if you see me at the starting or finish line make sure to say hi. I’ll be wearing my Dr. Who “ugly Christmas Sweater” t-shirt and Dr. Who scarf.

See you there!
