Jasper was an early riser from the time he was little at home, it’s just something that calmed him down before everyone else got up. He loved being able to wake up early and be by himself for awhile because that was the most calming time. When he’d gotten to Hogwarts he’d managed to keep the same schedule and get early morning classes with just enough time to jog. He had enough time to go outside to the lawns for a simple jog around the lake, then grab some toast before heading out to his first class. This was also how he kept in shape as good as he did besides quidditch, he kept a regular schedule without much change and he kept active. Of course the rain and snow often would stop him from jogging outside but some days when it wasn’t so bad he would jog in the rain but otherwise he would take a lap or two from the dungeons to the seventh floor. Jasper was just one of those big health nuts that didn’t like to gain a pound no matter what the problem, even when he was sick he took a jog because it would clear his sinus'.
The boy probably got the whole health thing from his mother who had been an avid quidditch player in her days at Hogwarts, and now she was a Tutshill Tornados seeker, something that he prided himself on. His mother was pretty famous especially in the quidditch world, sometimes people would come up and ask if they could bring his mom to a weekend in Hogsmeade but he usually declined. When she was his age she told him that she’d take a jog around the lake as well or the quidditch pitch so that she was properly stretched out for what the day held for her.
When Jasper got about three quarters around the black lake he stopped to stretch out his muscles so they didn’t cramp up. One time when he had been jogging his whole left leg cramped up and he sat in pain for an hour before he could move, than he limped his way back to the dorm looking like a bloody cripple.
After stopping to stretch out he pushed against some trees and did lunges to stretch out his legs. He pressed down so that everything felt the burn and to him it felt absolutely amazing. When he stretched after a long run it was like the most amazing feeling in the world and he would never give it up. When he finished stretching he took the path at a very brisk walk so that he could cool down, if you kept going it wasn’t good for your body to just stop. He kept his breath completely even as he did so, and he finally got to stop when he reached a little alcove with a neatly piled rock area. The rocks he stopped at were the rocks where he first began to jog during his first few years at Hogwarts. These rocks were like a milestone to him as when he first started jogging in his second year he couldn’t catch his breath for the best of him, he was always out of it. He would walk a flight or two and he’d be completely out of breath by the time he stopped, something that he wasn’t quite proud of. When Jasper was a youngin’ he was quite the chubby little thing who ate everything he could get his little grimy hands on.
After seeing just what could happen if one ate too much he decided that he needed a change in his life and become healthier. Every day he got up to jog and he wouldn’t change that for the world, even if the weather wasn’t good outside. It was worth it to run inside instead of just deciding because the weather was bad to not jog. If he didn’t do it he often felt sick because he was losing the daily activity so he didn’t usually skip a beat when it came to exercising. Jasper couldn’t live without it and if someone took it away from him he wouldn’t be able to function properly and this is why he became a quidditch player because he then had activity no matter what.
Jasper bent down at the waist and touched his fingers to the ground to stretch out his body after his jog and cool down. He needed to loosen up a bit more now so that his muscles didn’t constrict now that he wasn’t truly going to be active. He then stretched up and stretched out his arms so that his back muscles strained a bit, and the juices kept flowing. He felt amazing now.
When he was finally done with all of that lovely stuff he looked down at himself and he just knew it, he was sweaty. His tank top was soaked through pretty good and his skin shined with sweat. He loved the after feeling of running but he didn’t always love the sweat that clung to him. So now that he knew he was soaked he stripped off his tank top and laid it nicely on one of the flat rocks so that he could use his wand to dry it. After finishing that he turned his head as he heard splashes in the lake, those boys were at it again, the beautiful drumstrang boys were diving in the water.
That was something he’d wanted to try so why not now? Why not when he was sweaty? He could wash off that way.
Jasper grinned and quickly discarded the pants that hung on his hips along with his running shoes. He chucked them next to the rocks and took off towards the lake. He didn’t stop when his feet hit cold water and he didn’t stop when he was waist deep in it, he looked around once and dove in head first.
The water was absolutely to die for, it made his body feel even more energized than his run did and it was bliss.
After spending a short few minutes in the lake he knew he had to get out otherwise the cool water would do him no good, he knew that. So he headed out to the rocks again to lay down, boxers and bare chest out for everyone to see.
"Ahh, such a beautiful morning." He murmured softly closing his eyes. "I love this feeling..."
