Fly definitely means run in this case.

As another poster says, "fly" is often used to mean "moving very fast".

As in "the train was flying along" = the train was moving very fast.
As in "time flew" = time passed very quickly


I'm surprised at the confusion this caused at all.

BTW, it was a Balrog who are extremely powerful evil creatures. Maia [sp?] I believe. They are the same kind of beings that Gandalf and Sauroman are, but evil.

Read the books. They are superb.
