Meaning
This reads as a portrait of someone whose body and mind are not moving at the same pace. It can be taken to mean that walking steadies thought, while running frees it, or that different rhythms bring out different kinds of intelligence. It lands in a memory of a person who seemed to think best in motion, half in the world and half in his own mind.
