I normally say ran/walked (like on my RR) but I bet it's wrong and now I await bluerun's correction.

So here’s a question for bluerun and any other language geeks. What is the past tense of “run-walk”? I guess it would be considered a compound verb. I can’t find too many similar examples, but you would say “I stir-fried some vegetables last night”, not “I stirred-fried”. So maybe you would say “I run-walked”?
If you're looking at it as a compound verb, it would make sense to say run-walked, much like the past tense of "freeze-dry" is "freeze-dried," and not "froze-dried." But, disclaimer: I have no fancy reasoning to support this conclusion, it just sounds right to me that way.

I ran 6 miles. Just ran.

I feel compelled to answer, but Bluerun has already done so. Bummer.
Answer away! Most non-native speakers have a better command of the English language than native speakers.
Is the snow all gone now? Or are you still laughing at your neighbors with their icy/snowy/gross driveways while yours is nice and dry.
We had frost here yesterday morning and kids at DS's school were trying to play with it
Truth.
Except when it comes to idioms. Then its just LOL funny.
As long as you don't say "I have ran." That one drives me NUTS. IDK which is worse, that or people who are "heal strikers."
Not all gone, but on its way. Supposed to get up into the 40s and rainy by tomorrow.
It's humid AF here. If the marathon was today I'd die. Thankfully it's not.
Truth. Except when it comes to idioms. Then its just LOL funny.
Sometimes you guys come up with these expressions that you all understand, but I can't. The only English I'm exposed to is basically the books I read when I'm in a novel mood, or the movies/series I watch when I'm in that mood.
So I agree.
In my case, at least, my English is not so good. Let's say I would not enter an English competition with you guys even if idioms are not allowed, or rather I would not expect to place very high. I have a huge vocabulary deficit.
Or people who could care less about heal striking.
Cy - your English is a lot better than my French. Reading what you post, I would not know that English is not your first language.
Dave - thanks for the link on the Ghosts. They didn't have my size for $60, but they had it for $79 or $159, so I still got a bargain and it's the color I don't have.
RD for me. It's a nice day, cold but sunny, and tomorrow is supposed to be awful with snow, sleet and ice, but I had a doctor's appointment which didn't leave me enough time to do a long run before dark.
