Quick Japanese Translation check, please?

I got this sentence off somewhere to practice translating Japanese to English:

oi! sorosoro ranninga ikuzo!

I translated it to: I'll be running soon or I'm going to run in a while.

Also what does oi! mean in the beginning? Is it, Hey! I'm going running in a while.

    It is true "oi" means "hey," and "sorosoro" is "soon" or "in a while."

    The subject of "ikuzo" is "I," but this implies "Follow me," that is, "Why don't we start running soon?"

    Edited:

    Sorry, I didn't read it carefully.

    The part "ranninga" doesn't make sense.

    Perhaps, it's "ranninguda."

    Source(s): I'm a native speaker of Japanese.
