Runs in place (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

idles

'runs in place' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for idles that I've seen before include "Avoids working" , "Spends time doing nothing" , "Lazes about, just ticks over" , "Does little, just ticks over" , "Lazes around" .)

I've seen this clue in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, the LA Times and the L.A. Times Daily.
