So I guess it won't be that hard.

I disagree with that. To me, this sounds like a very challenging child. Lots of oppositional/defiant behavior. You can't reason with that. She runs because she is angry and it makes her feel powerful. I, personally, don't believe that taking her running would help that. OD children can't handle someone telling them what to do. Their fight/flight reaction kicks in. Its purely subconscious. I would give her lots of choices about things. Like - do you want to pick up your toys now or after your bath? That lessens the need for the child to react negatively. When my daughter was a run away risk, I kept her shoes. So, she was always in socks or barefoot. That way she couldn't run as far or as quick. Makes it not quite so fun for the child.
