How to have Run-in Section in a separate command?

Question

In the question asked here, How to have the same solution but in a different command without affecting the \section command? I mean I would like to create another command e.g. \runinsection that would make the text continue beside the section header while maintaining the \section command with its normal behavior.

Thanks in advance.

In my case it was a one line section that caused me to go into a new page having also only one line, it's a 3 page document, the document did not look nice — Mystic Odin, Dec 10 '14 at 00:34

You can simply define a new command \runinsection

\makeatletter
\newcommand\runinsection{\@startsection {section}{1}{\z@}%
                                   {3.5ex \@plus 1ex \@minus .2ex}%
                                   {-1em}%
                                   {\normalfont\Large\bfseries}}
\makeatother

and use it as in the following MWE:

\documentclass{article}

\makeatletter
\newcommand\runinsection{\@startsection {section}{1}{\z@}%
                                   {3.5ex \@plus 1ex \@minus .2ex}%
                                   {-1em}%
                                   {\normalfont\Large\bfseries}}
\makeatother

\usepackage{lipsum} %just for the example

\begin{document}

\section{This is a normal section}

\lipsum[1]

\runinsection{This is a run-in section}

\lipsum[1]

\end{document}

Output
