Howling:The Doctor starts running: Sound of Drums vs. Name of the Doctor

In The Sound of Drums/Last of the Time Lords The Doctor says that his journey started when he was a child, however in The Name of the Doctor we see The Doctor as an old man with Susan stealing the TARDIS for the first time. Is this really a continuity error? My theories:
 * 1. He was young by Time Lord standards, taking into consideration that Time Lords live way longer than humans.
 * 2. He was referring to the fact he was in his fist incarnation.
 * 3. "Rule Number 1: The Doctor Lies"-River Song

Maybe he was a traveller around Gallifrey. 87.102.91.126talk to me 11:14, January 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * True, but it's implied that he started running from Gallifrey as a child. Thecrazyweirdo ☎  17:22, January 5, 2014 (UTC)

The two are not mutually exclusive. Running doesn't necessarily require one to steal a tardis 72.177.169.170talk to me 00:22, January 7, 2014 (UTC)
