Picture does not really show Asimo 'Running'

According to Merriam-Webster:

1 a : to go faster than a walk; specifically : to go steadily
by
springing steps so that both feet leave the ground for an
instant
in each step

Unfortunately, the picture does not depict both of
Asimo's feet
off of the ground.

Nitpick for sure, but this is a story about a robot running
isn't it?

DOES THE "Honda robot applies for 9-to-5 job " REALLY DO 9-TO-5 JOBS???????

DOES THE PICTURE REALLY LOOK LIKE A RUNNING ROBOT OR A WALKING ROBOT? PLEASE ADD A VIDEO ATLEAST TO PROVE THAT HE RUNS.

THANK YOU....
