Continue reading →: Long Weekend in Upstate New York
This week was a little out of whack, workout wise. But for good reason – I was in Upstate New York visiting my family! It was the first time we’d been out there since GM was born, and only the second time since 2020 (thanks, pandemic). That’s why I didn’t…

Continue reading →: Hello August
July was a good month. We had some good weather (I do love it warm!), I got in runs most days of the week, I stayed injury free, and ended up with more than 130 miles: And so, enter August. I only have a few goals this month as it…

Continue reading →: A Few More Weeks
I realized this week that I just have a few more weeks of summer. A few more weeks of “sleeping in” until 5:30, a few more weeaks of running during the daylight and a few more weeks of my favorite season. It’s bittersweet – I’m not ready for back-to-school and…

Continue reading →: I’m Still Running
My baby boy turned one this week. And it made me sentimental, about not only how fast the time goes, but also feel proud. Proud of me. Too often, I think negatively about my running abilities. I had a few mornings this week where I stopped to walk, because I…

Continue reading →: Happy Birthday, GM
I can’t believe our baby boy is one. I of course remember so vividly the day he was born, coming two days early as a surprise (his birth story is here), and arriving so differently from our other children had. And he is still showing us just how different he…

Continue reading →: Weekend Update: Summer Fun in the CLE
We had a great weekend! So much so that I’m bringing back my weekend update post series. Who knows, maybe I’ll keep it up? Friday started extra early – I wanted to get in a little longer run than usual, so I headed out early and was able to get…

Continue reading →: Consistent
If I had to pick one word to describe my workouts this week, it would be consistent. I was consistent, getting in my “feel good” (4-5 miles) runs every day. I was consistent, doing my diastasis recti exercises every day. I was consistent, getting in my step goal every day. So,…

Continue reading →: Taking it somewhat easy
Some weeks I feel on fire — I could run forever, wake up as early as I need, and just keep going. And other weeks, I’m tired, my body is sore, and each mile run feels harder and harder. This was one of those weeks — random parts of me…

Continue reading →: I love summertime
I’m sure I’ve said it before, but I LOVE summertime. It is my favorite season of the year. Yes, it’s hot. But I love the longer daylight, the morning LIT runs, sleeping a little later (no school bus!) and the carefree feeling all around. This week brought the end of…

Continue reading →: 5K medal and feeling hot hot hot
Well, I’ve got my heat training done for the summer just this week. June in Cleveland can be a variety of temperatures – 50s, 60s or even 70s and 80s. But this week we nearly broke records with highs in the upper nineties and “feels like” in the 100s! Thankfully,…
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.
Let’s connect
