Thank you for the words of wisdom, I definitely received much more than I expected. I will try to create a running animation and post it here to have you guys critique it, see if I learned something. Thanks!
One last piece of advice, sort of not related to animation. How can I go about re-sizing the sprite without having it look distorted when it re-sizes? I notice that when they are seen at normal size they look distorted but when you zoom in they look much more crisp.
