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,…

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…

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…

Being on vacation last week, I somehow missed that JUNE is here. JUNE – holy smokes. I hate how fast summertime goes – it’s my favorite season of the year and I wish it would last forever. The sunny days, sleeping in, endless daylight … anyway, it doesn’t, but I’m…

Continue reading →: A Few Days in Chicago
We just got back from a few days in Chicago for a fun family vacation. My son’s last day of kindergarten (!) was the week before Memorial Day, so we decided to spend the week out of town and took a road trip to the Windy City. Unlike last year,…

Continue reading →: Recovery and Whatever I Want
For those of you that missed it, my half marathon/5k races came and went! Here is a recap of how they went last weekend. Spoiler alert – I had a great time! So, that meant this week I was going to do whatever I wanted. Sleep in? Sure, why not.…

Was it really only just a few days ago that I was running through the streets of Cleveland with thousands of others, in my first in-person Cleveland half marathon since 2019? Okay, okay, I’m getting ahead of myself. But yes, just a few day ago, I completed the Cleveland 5k/half…
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
