Like Dragonboy says, Elsa was not free when she ran away. She was free to an extent, liberated from the constraints placed upon her. She is still alone, however. She admits this to Anna, but sees it as better than not being alone and leaving potential there to hurt someone. It takes Anna to help Elsa realise that she needs to love, and also accept that she herself is loved.
