Continue reading →: What 38-Week Pregnant Workouts Look Like For Me
Just keep moving! Just keep moving! That’s been my motto these days. On the days that I get up and get in an hour or so of walking/running in the morning, I feel so much better. No swelling (at least so far), better mood (as usual) and more energy overall.…

Continue reading →: 37 Weeks Pregnant and Trying To Keep Up
Three. More. Weeks. Three more weeks! If this baby comes on time, we have three more weeks until its arrival. We have three weeks to get the room ready, three weeks to get mentally prepared (which I never am) and three weeks to keep on running/walking. I’ll be the first…

Continue reading →: Celebrating My Five Year Old and Running
My oldest turned FIVE this week. FIVE! I’m not ready to have a five-year-old, as it sounds SO much older than four. But before you ask – how does this relate to running – I’ll let you know. For his birthday, he wanted to wake up early and “go for…

Continue reading →: Turtles, Herons, Deer, Oh My!
For those of you following along, I’m still run/walking! It’s really mostly a walk these days, but I’m happy to be getting in these kinds of miles at 35 weeks pregnant. And maybe it’s because I’m doing 70% of walking, but I also have been noticing much more wildlife on…

Continue reading →: The End of a Streak?
What constitutes the end of a running streak? Since April 2020, I’ve run at least one mile every day. In the beginning for me this meant 4-5 miles/day. As I’ve gotten more and more pregnant, and bigger and bigger, I told myself to “just run one mile.” Then after that,…

Continue reading →: Slowing It Down
I know I have been saying this for a few weeks now, but I’m slowing down when it comes to running. At 33 weeks pregnant now, running is not so comfortable. While my weight is the same, I’m bigger during this pregnancy than my last one – at least in…

This week, I was lucky enough to get away from home for a few days and enjoy a short vacation with the family. We decided to take one last family vacation before the new baby comes, so we packed up the car and headed to Chicago! We had a great…

Continue reading →: Being Pregnant During the Pandemic – My Take
If you can’t tell by the title, I’m pregnant. And yes, it’s a pandemic. But, it’s not all bad. Not to belittle anyone’s pregnancy experience – and I’m so glad I’m not a first-time mom right now – but despite all the downsides of being pregnant during a pandemic, there…

Continue reading →: Book Ends
This week’s running post theme is — book ends. I’m starting to really feel the weariness and body aches of pregnancy hit me (I’m 31 weeks), and my runs are getting harder and harder. But, I started the week (Sunday) and ended the week (yesterday) with two good runs, which…

Continue reading →: Virtual Race Recap: Cleveland Marathon Virtual 5K
Well, here I am, 30 weeks pregnant (10 more to go!) and writing a race recap that I didn’t know I’d be writing. It’s not a true race recap – like most of my races this year, there were no water stops, starting line, finish line or even crowd support.…
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
