In this tutorial I will teach you how to make a simple five frame run with the line tool
I will delete this tutorial if necessary :P

here is the final result:

Notice
Notice that when the legs are crossing over to step forward, the arms move and cross in unison. This is something you must execute correctly.

Showing frame by frame
1. To start off, animate your stick figure in this position:

make sure to have the front leg bent downward and the back leg upright at close to a 90 degree angle.

2. Next, this position:

cross the legs

3. Next:

stretch out the back leg a bit as well as the front

4. Next:

make the back leg almost at the same angle as the back, with the front leg obtuse (losing it's tight angle)

5. Last but not least:

straighten the front leg a bit and point the front foot up-word. Put the back leg at a 90 degree angle

Things to remember:
Make sure that your feet don't point in random directions
Make sure to not stretch your legs out of proportion
Make sure to keep the back the same size and stable
Make sure to remember gravity; dose he look like he's floating?
Make sure to slow the movements a bit when the legs are spread

Check your progress:
Re-check all frames to see if you are happy with them:


Finished
your finished result should look something like this:


Now animate it! :D
