¡Suerte!

corrí a casa a poner una comida rápida en el microondas


Explanation:
corrí da una idea similar a 'trotted' and the whole thing transmite la idea de algo apurado y sin mucho esmero.

neutral  George Rabel: Hola Angela. Solo por despejar tu curiosidad te dire que, al menos en Cuba, se usa "a toda mecha". Lo que si no concuerdo en que "trotted" expresa ese nivel de urgencia. Saludos
5 hrs
  -> Sí, totalmente de acuerdo. Las prisas del momento :-)
neutral  Gabriel Aguirre: O "a todo vapor", "a toda máquina", but all of these are faster that trotting.
10 hrs
  -> Yes, you are right :-)
