Happy belated Global Running Day to those who celebrate! Cleveland had a fun celebration that included a run along a lakefront path right near downtown and more, but it was at 6 p.m., which conflicted with our existing plans. Now, if only someone would host a 6 AM (or even…

Continue reading →: So long, MAYhem
And just like that, MAYhem is over! May is always our craziest month of the year. As if it weren’t crazy enough with kids activities and end of school year, it’s also my busiest month of work with our annual meeting and then I travel out of town. May was…

Continue reading →: Recovery Week
After last week’s Cleveland Marathon 5K and half marathon, I spent this week listening to my body. This meant I did not get in a lot runs unfortunately! I woke up Monday feeling pretty sore in my quads, and my left quad/hip area in particular was sore. This is where…

Do you ever feel a little bummed after a race? I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m GLAD training is over because I can take some time to run whatever I want … but after so many weeks of prep and training, all of a sudden, it’s all done! It…

ONE MORE WEEK UNTIL RACE DAY! I guess I should be excited, or reflective, or something, but at this point, I’m just ready for the day to be here. I leave this morning for a work trip, so I’m gone most of the week before flying back and hopping right…

Continue reading →: No Complaints
For once, I have no complaints about my week! I feel like every single week I have some excuse – something interfering with my training. During this training cycle I’ve had injuries, a week in Germany, sick kids, no water, crazy weather, and more. But this week – somehow, there…

Continue reading →: It’s Always Something
Welp, there’s always something it seems getting in the way of my half marathon training. This week, after FW was finally feeling better (yay!) we lost hot water! What does hot water have to do with my running? Okay, not a lot. But not being able to rely on having…

Continue reading →: Back from Spring Break Abroad
Wow, taking a week off from my usual weekly running update was strange! But I’m back now, and ready to share how the week went. The reason I wasn’t able to share last week was because we were out for spring break! B and I took the whole family –…

Continue reading →: Highlights from our Berlin Family Vacation
Before kids, B and I made travel a priority in our lives. We both were brought up traveling abroad at a youngish age, and have a love for visiting foreign countries, exploring new places, and going on new adventures. After we got married, we did plenty of traveling together, going…
Hello,
I’m Melissa
Welcome to I Crashed The Web — proof that I’ve been oversharing online since the early days of blogging. It started as a blog (back when that was cool), morphed into a mom blog (when that was cool), and now it’s my happy place for all the things I love: running, baking, reading, traveling and life with my family of five.
