Fair enough - my bad!
I now think, instead, that the rule is worded poorly. They are not really committed to a base - technically they are committed to either run forward or run backward without stopping. Nothing says (especially in the forward cases) that they can't continue running. I guess I'm saying that the word "committed" here is misleading.
But yeah - I'm wrong as to whether that word appears on the rule. My apologies.
