• Wonderful, Busy, Crazy Week

    What a wonderful, busy, crazy week! We started off with Easter, and ended with a wedding celebration of my husband’s youngest brother and the last of his (5) siblings to get married. The wedding was on a Friday, and rehearsal on Thursday, plus a brunch and baseball game Saturday. Oh,…

  • Is it Spring?

    Could spring finally truly be here? We had a week with spring-like temperatures, rain, and some warmer days! I know it could turn at any moment, but it was great to run outside and enjoy what felt like FINALLY spring! It was so nice that I ran outside FIVE days…

  • Quick Trip

    This week was pretty standard – with the exception of a quick trip to New York City! I had a quick trip in to see a friend whose husband has been in town for medical reasons, and we ended up having a short reunion with 3 of my best high…

  • April Is Finally Here!

    Hooray for April! April in Cleveland means the weather is starting to get warm – but who am I kidding, it’s also 30 degrees and could snow any day now. March was a good month in terms of training. I got in nearly 160 miles of running, stuck to my…

  • Double 9s

    March is ALMOST OVER, which means it’s almost race month. There are less than 50 days until race weekend. Eeek! I’m excited and can’t believe we’re already almost there. Spring officially is here, but it has been a roller coaster of weather here in Northeast Ohio. Sunday was old (started…

  • Still Feeling Lion-Like

    I know March “comes in like a lion,” but we are halfway through, and it’s still feeling lion-like to me! We had two gorgeous days this week (Tues and Wed) and then it was all downhill from there temperature-wise. These spring days that come and go are such a tease!…

  • Mid-March

    And just like that, we’re halfway through March! This week included a pretty wide variety of things going on – we got in some travel over the weekend which meant a short hotel gym run, it was beautiful weather later in the week which meant some outdoor runs (!), and…

  • In Like a Lion, Indeed

    Yes, it’s cliche to say that March comes in like a lion, but it really has in Cleveland! March 1 started with snow, and then we got more snow and some more freezing days. We didn’t get a lot of snow, but just enough over a few nights that at…

  • March, What?!

    Does anyone else feel like January was the longest month in the world, and February came and left in the blink of an eye? I know February is a few days shorter, but it still feels like it was significantly shorter than January was. Because how is it already March?…

  • Still Treadmill Season

    I can’t remember another year that my treadmill has gotten this much love. I got my beloved Sole F80 in 2018 when I was pregnant with my daughter, and yes, I ran a lot more inside that year because I was being cautious with the pregnancy (didn’t want to slip…

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.
