Just because it's a vacation, it isn't an excuse for Jason to give up on his exercising. He was still up at an obscenely early hour for a jog, though he had to cut it embarrassingly short given the higher-than-normal gravity. And later in the morning found him running through his martial arts katas.
It was harder than he thought. After a few hours here, he hadn't really noticed the extra gravity when he was just moving around, but when actually trying to move faster or do any sort of prolonged exercise, he definitely felt the added weight. It wasn't even an hour before he was dripping with sweat, but it still wasn't time for him to quit.
An unfortunate factor was that he'd taken Karate Kid's advice. Normally when practicing, he went bare-footed. However, during a conversation, Val had suggested wearing these little slippers for superior grip on the floor when twisting or kicking. Less chance of slipping on untrustworthy terrain. Jason had decided to test out the advice here of all places, and it took some getting used to. With the sweat, the back kept trying to slip off of his heel.
It was probably inevitable, really. The fit, slightly wrong. Sweat making the material slip. When Jason goes for another crescent kick, it's just too much and the slipper is flung from his foot, arcing over his shoulder and flipping through the air towards some innocent, probably unsuspecting party. About the only warning, unless he's being watched, is a cry of "Oh shoot!"
Jason! The Grace-less one.
