We Bought a House!

It’s official. We are Rhode Islanders. Well, I have always been a Rhode Islander. I was born in the Ocean State and grew up outside Providence (just like the Farrelly Brothers film). It was after college that I became a Masshole. Chris, however, has lived in Massachusetts for the entirety of his 32 years on this planet. He is now a Rhode Islander and will soon be drinking coffee oatmilk milk, the official state beverage, and eating hot seitan weiners.

We bought a house in Providence and officially move-in next week. We are so excited for the adventure ahead and making our house a home. There are plenty of home renovation projects in our future – I’ve already gone to town on the purple shag carpet in our new bedroom. Chris installed my dream rain shower head this past weekend – who knew he was so handy?!

We’re most excited about exploring our new neighborhood and scouting out challenging and fun running routes. Luckily, we are just steps away from the Woonasquatucket River Greenway, Rhode Island’s only funky, urban bike path. The seven-mile path leads to the heart of downtown Providence’s Waterplace Park.

What this means for Knighton Runs

Knighton Runs Coaching is going to get even better this year! Our mission is to provide the world’s best online coaching to our athletes and running community. Moving to Providence will give us the flexibility we need to dedicate more time, energy, and love to Knighton Runs. Be on the lookout for more exciting content and programming coming your way soon!

We are forever grateful to the running community in Boston.

Boston will always be our home. It’s where we met. It’s where we become distance runners and completed our first marathons. It is the city in which we ran endless miles and celebrated with our Heartbreaker, TARC, and Forest Hills Runners friends and teammates. We fully intend to visit at every good opportunity and can’t wait to host you down in Providence soon!
