In his book involving the twins Castor and Pollux (can't recall the name), Heinlein calculated that it just might be possible (given a less cumbersome spacesuit than we have today) to run (more like skip, actually), fast enough on one of Mars' moons to achieve escape velocity.

In the introduction to Comet, there is a description of walking on a cometary nucleus and being careful not to jump too high or you will not come down for a few weeks. The comet isn't named.
