I should loan you my brass grommet.

It attaches to your foot, sits between the great toe and second toe.
Fits either foot.

In use, you put it on, then drive a #12 woodscrew (carefully!)
into a hardwood floor through the center hole in the grommet.

Leave a little slack under the screw-head.  The one on the floor.
Optionally apply a smear of molybdenum disulphide
extreme-pressure lubricant. To the grommet/screw-head interface.
The one on the floor. Else keep a fire-extinguisher within reach.

Let's one run in circles far more efficiently than 'freehand',
. .. even while daydreaming or coding in 'C'  ;-)

Unlike a skate-board or push-bike, you can't run out in front of a motor 
bus,

Shoulda patented it, along with the 'famous brass handles'...
