Continue reading →: Fun Run
Back in the day (a.k.a. before we had three kids), I used to do more races. 5Ks, 10Ks, 5 milers, 10 milers, and even more than 1 half marathon a year. It was easier to fit them in, and when we lived downtown, we could often even walk to the…

Happy belated Global Running Day to all my runner friends! Back in the day I used to celebrate by participating in a group run, or even running with some friends, but alas, this year I just celebrated by running solo. Which is still a celebration. This week I’ve been a…

Continue reading →: Still Feeling It
Man, I am still feeling a little worn out since my half marathon more than a week ago. I’m surprised it has taken me so long to recover — my feet are tired/sore still and my legs aren’t quite back at 100%. That said, I kept my running to a…

Continue reading →: Recovery Week
Does anyone else get all the post-race feels? I’m feeling up and down this week, now that my half marathon is done. In case you missed it, last Sunday, I ran the Cleveland half marathon. I came in at 2:06ish, which isn’t a PR or anything, but still faster than…

Wow, what a week! I can’t believe that the Cleveland Marathon weekend has come and gone. Just a few days ago I was in Orlando for work, and then I made it home just in time for all the Cleveland Marathon festivities to begin. The week included a few runs,…

Continue reading →: One Week from Race Day and I’m Off My Game
I am one week from race day, and unfortunately, this was not a good training week. Why? Because I got sick! I am hoping it’s just a quick, short head cold, but my breathing has not been good all week. My running has been off. My sleep has been off.…

Continue reading →: It’s Suddenly May
I forgot to change our calendar for most of this week and when I did I couldn’t believe how fast April flew by. Where did it go? I had a pretty good month, with high mileage, no injuries (!) and several long runs to keep me ready for Cleveland Marathon…

Continue reading →: Longest Long Run Time
I realized this week that I am somehow off my training plan … I am loosely following Hal Higdon’s intermediate half marathon training plan. Loosely is the right word, because each week I try to match the long run, one of the speed runs, and then fit in some other…

Continue reading →: A High Week
This week, we were back to our routine and normal schedule. Though it was hard waking up early again, I somehow got in a record-high week, 35 miles total. I cannot remember the last time I got in this many miles in one week – definitely not in 2023! Here…

Continue reading →: Weekly Run Down: Mini Vacation
This week, my workouts and running schedule were a little off, and my mileage was less than the past few weeks. But for good reason — we got in a mini family vacation! My son was off school, and we decided to take off Thursday and Friday to drive to…
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.
