Most likely I'll try to escape, while watching for an opportunity while the bad guy is distracted.

Interesting anecdote. I was trying to teach one of my nephews boxing. As we sparred he would attempt to hit me, miss, turn and run. This was getting annoying as we had no actual ring and I told him the next time he turned his hip that much I was going to drop him. I did (hitting someone on a downward angle on the top of the hip as they turn to run tend to drop them). I told him a lesson I have tried to instill in my own children: you either fight or you run. If you are attempting to escape commit all the resources you have to that attempt but do not get distracted from that attempt by worrying about looking for a moment of distraction to change directions.
Fighting in order to create an opportunity to run is slightly different.
