You said "run", that;s fine. What happens "mechanically" does not always have to match 100% to how you describe the action. I commonly say as a PC and as a DM that someone charged in, even though they did not perform a mechanical charge. The charge action does not have a monopoly on the word! So tell your DM to loosen up a bit and let you tell your story. It is your DM that is ruining your storytelling, not D&D 4e. You said “run”, that;s fine.
