I started the couch-to-5k app two years ago, and next month I run my first full marathon. The ability grows so quickly, and it isn’t always easy, but it’s so rewarding of a process. Best advice I heard: the training is the 10k (or half marathon, or marathon, etc.), the race is the celebration. Once you see it that way, every run is more meaningful. And then you get to show yourself what you’re made of at the race. Have fun! Enjoy every milestone!
You know that trend people do on TikTok "I did my hair the same so nobody can tell us apart?" You should do a Gus tutorial (blue/cool grey eye makeup, pink like his nose for the blush/lips) and then put your matching sweaters on. I suspect nobody will be able to tell the difference between you!
Love the sweaters 😻, love the rug, good luck on the marathon, i recently got a treadmill and I started doing 15 mins now I do over an hour. I like listening to audiobooks or music to keep me going. 😊
listen this is easily one my fav videos of urs ever!! i love vlogs sm and this vlog was such a chill relaxing fun (basically perfect) accompaniment to my morning!
Omg running in the winter is true commitment! Looking forward to following along your new running journey :) Need to know what that blue sweater is though at the beginning of the video.
I love the cat sweater. Also love hearing about your very creative activities! Living in Quebec and Ontario myself, I’m more than ready for spring, which generally raises my spirits even though I ski and love the snow. Thanks for a great video!
I lovee your vlogs/lifestyle content! As someone who stopped running consistently a couple years ago, this is making me consider picking it up again :)
Gus is gorgeous, and why is your twinning sweater moment making my heart so happy?! Beautiful sweaters, I love the happy colours :) I wish I had the patience/talent to crochet or knit
Amazing coconut milk tip! Thank you so much for this vlog, has inspired me to jump back on my running journey :) also, I read that cats check on you in the morning and get in your face to make sure you are alive bc sleeping is the most vulnerable time so they come to check on you! Might be wrong, but that makes me always feel good when my 2 cats wake me up stupid early 😂
If you need something from the US just get a US shipping address from a parcel company. We live near the Washington state border and pay a yearly subscription for a US shipping address. We have to pay a few based on the size of the package when we go to pick it up and you need a copy of your receipt when you cross the border in case you are asked to declare what you picked up. Love your crochet! I have only made cat toys, a throw blanket and some stuffies for gifts. I have yet to make any sweaters.
After seeing your crochet and mention Woobles a while back, I purchased a couple kits in December and learned to crochet. And I have to say, crocheting is my absolute favorite new hobby! I am branching out and making all sorts of things now! It is so fun and so rewarding when you finish a piece. Thank you for the INSPO!
Ugh yes, I've been waiting for one of your vlogs! Missed these 🥰 I'm so invested in your reno/furniture updates. Loving the choices you're going with on everything.
What an absolutely fantastic vlog. It was so enjoyable to watch. Please do more vlogs like this. The crochet cardigan is so gorgeous. I love the colours you have used. Omg!!! and Gus's jumper, it's so cute. The wardrobes are amazing and i love the green shade. You realy inspire me in so many ways.
I've started crocheting after seeing you and Julia both loving it. I have fibromyalgia so new positions for my body can cause some pain and the crochet is going really slow! 😂 Loved the blog and seeing Mr Gus ❤
My kitty love to scratch those exercises mats that look like puzzle pieces I just lay one out for her 🤣🤣🤣 Gus is so gorgeous!!!! 🤍🤍🤍 great rug choices!!!
What helped me a lot was mentally girl mathing this and seeing a half marathon as "just" 4 x 5km (the first and last 500m are pure adrenaline of course)
The last rugs you shared are SOOO much better with your couch fabric!! I feel like the first ones were too busy and your couch would just disappear on top of it. Bummer about the budget though :( Good luckkkkk
Okay so this is dramatic but as someone who owns like 95% of all the products you’ve released with JPD, I will NEVER get over missing the black bookmark! My work schedule ruining my life lol
Jamie! LOL I have the twin female rag doll to your Gus her name is Coco. I just showed my husband the clip of Gus trying on his sweater and he was rolling imagining Coco wearing it (or letting us put the sweater on her even! ) Ragdolls are hilarious aren't they? She has such a unique personality unlike any other cat Ive lived with
Omggg he really does LOVE his sweater! Adorable! Also you and Tara Michelle need to meet up like in Ottawa or something to do a 10k together! Both new runners!
I love the sweater and matching Gus fit. I just got a kitten and want to make a matching outfit too! Where did you get the yarn? I love the chunky-ness and colours ❤
I'm in love with Coach Bennett from Nike run club. hes the BEST and so motivating. you got this! im training for my 2nd half marathon right now from ZERO about a year ago. welcome to the club girlie
Wanted to share my area rug that I'm super happy with! It might be a "Gus problem, but I just love the texture it has. It looks really beautiful in person. It's the Magellan Flatweave Cotton Striped Rug from Wayfair
With all the work going into your rug and couch, I hope you have some ways to discourage little Gus from scratching them up! All cat owners couch arms get destroyed it seems. Maybe Florence can help? I've heard big sturdy scratch posts can work. Cats need a scratching surface that is more fun/feels nicer than your furniture.
Gus thankfully isn’t a big furniture scratcher - he has lots of other scratching posts that keep him happy :)! He never touches the couch - the rug is a different story though hahah we shall see!
loved the vlog, you def should do more! i really loved seeing the print making process! is there any where i could follow the letter press studio or the artists you featured?
Oh I started watching the video, but saw you holding a clip on microphone 🤦🏻♀️ nope. I find that so annoying and cringy when RUclipsrs hold their clip on microphone. I fast forwarded the video to see when it ended, but you still held it through most of the video, so I didn’t even watch it 😂. Those microphones are clip on for a reason; the sound is awful if people hold it up to the mouth. The sound for it is designed to be clipped 🤦🏻♀️ clicked off the video 🤷🏻♀️

Wow that’s incredible!!! And I totally feel you. I saw someone say the same thing and it really resonated :)
the matching sweaters are too much cuteness 💗
Oh, please keep us updated on your running journey. Seeing you tackle this challenge is kind of motivating me!
Yay!! Will do!
Omg the stationery behind the scenes is EVERYTHING. Obsessed
I love that you clearly care a lot about supporting small local businesses
That Gus sweater. THE BEST. brought me so much joy

😂😂😂😂
You’ve made the absolute cutest sweater for Gus!

I love this type of vlog and Gus is the cutest!!!!!!
Gus in the matching sweater 🥺😍 two icons
Love the sweaters 😻, love the rug, good luck on the marathon, i recently got a treadmill and I started doing 15 mins now I do over an hour. I like listening to audiobooks or music to keep me going. 😊
Thank you!! And that’s awesome
The rug with the green through it with the sofa fabric is astonishingly good! Absolutely the most interesting and gorgeous option - I love it.
I knowwww🥲🥲🥲 I don’t know if I’ll ever find something that compares lol!!
Love your sweater and Gus’s matching sweater!! Just precious
listen this is easily one my fav videos of urs ever!! i love vlogs sm and this vlog was such a chill relaxing fun (basically perfect) accompaniment to my morning!

Welcome to the secret run club, Jamie!! 🥳 Finishing a race is one of the best feelings out there! You got this 🫶💓
Adored this video, can’t wait to see more vlogs. Not boring at all 🫶🏻
I lovee your vlogs/lifestyle content! As someone who stopped running consistently a couple years ago, this is making me consider picking it up again :)

I looooved watching the bookmark making process, so fascinating
Gus is gorgeous, and why is your twinning sweater moment making my heart so happy?! Beautiful sweaters, I love the happy colours :) I wish I had the patience/talent to crochet or knit
I bet you could do it!! 🥰
10k is one of my fave distances to run! More challenging than a 5k and not as much training time as a half
Amazing coconut milk tip! Thank you so much for this vlog, has inspired me to jump back on my running journey :) also, I read that cats check on you in the morning and get in your face to make sure you are alive bc sleeping is the most vulnerable time so they come to check on you!

hahahhah! i've heard the same, but i think gus is just hungry lmao
