We just got back from our summer family vacation! We spent a few days in Upstate NY and a few days in Philly and it was great to have time off from work and time for us to spend as a family. In NY, we had tons of fun spending…

This week started our summer vacation. The kiddos have been home for a month, but this week B and I both took off some time to start a family trip. We packed up the car and headed out to Albany late Wednesday night/early Thursday morning. With vacation comes late nights,…

I love and always have loved summertime. It’s my favorite season. I love the longer days, the warm weather, the sunshine, the more relaxed atmosphere, being able to be outside all day long, sleeping in … need I go on? I even don’t mind summer running. Do I prefer 45…

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…

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…

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…
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.
