Shash is the word in Navajo (Dinébizaad) for bear. You should not say the word out in the woods, it is bad luck.

The running part depends on what you mean and how it is being used. Navajo has very different grammar than English.
If you mean a name, that is not a possible traditional Navajo name. They had private "war names" used for ceremonies. Everyday names were just description like tall guy or son of shorty or guy from willow springs.
If you mean a sentence then because of the complicated way Navajo conjugates verbs one would need to kn ow the whole sentence you wish to use it in. To be running away is different than to be running back which is different than running at top speed and so on.
yiishtééh is to run a race. However to use it you need to know if it is me or you or someone else. That changes the verb.
