while waiting to cross the road a kind motorist slows down and indicates you to cross: whilst the actual speed of the run across the road is the same as walking, the illusion of hurrying engenders a feeling of good will between motorist and pedestrian.
Friend A: What the hell was that?
Friend B: That was my courtesy run!
A: But it was no quicker than walking!
B: Yeah but it makes drivers feel better
A: Cunning
B: Like a fox!

For halloween, me and my friend are going run-by toasting in town.
*throws toast at old man* *screams random jibberish and runs away leaving the old man and the wittnesses befuddled*

When two people run off to make out for a long period of time; enough to make them look like they ran a mile.
Samantha: "Those two were definitely running a mile, they were gone for an hour!"
Jennifer: "They might as well have been running two, look at them!"

A panicked split second decision a person makes at a street, cross walk, or parking lot. The person usually begins the first two feet in a hustled running motion only to precede swinging there arms in full motion as if they are running, but still moving at the speeds of a person walking.
Pedestrian: Oh no a car is coming but I have to walk across to get into Walmart! I better wait. Or should I run for it?? Time is running out I am scared.
Person in car: (gives the hand wave for pedestrian to go ahead)
Pedestrian: (Looks like a triathelete mixed with an old geezer as they slow-run the next six feet)
Person in car: (rolls down window and yells) What the hell are you doing? You are running the same speed and the person walking next to you idiot!

Created by two guys from East Brunswick in 1987, it is an unofficial tour of the creepiest places in central New Jersey where evil happenings occurred. It is always conducted late at night when the supernatural and followers of the occult are most active. Usually conducted in a large vehicle with six or more passengers. Alcohol is often consumed along the way. The tour guides themselves often set up traps and tricks to freak out their passengers/victims.
After the game on Friday we all climbed into Rod's truck and went on a Ghost Run through Helmetta and Port Street.
