Yes, "just" in the sentence "I just went for a run" can have both meanings, depending on the context: 1. A short time ago: * It means you went for a run very recently. * Example: "I just went for a run, so I'm still a little tired." 2. Only (nothing else): * It means the run is the only thing you did, emphasizing simplicity or exclusivity. * Example: "I just went for a run; I didn’t do any other exercise." Context determines which meaning applies. If the focus is on time, it means "a short time ago." If the focus is on activity, it means "only."
