TA DA......
Ok ,after taking the binding of for the the third and fourth time in some places
, I staystiched the whole runner, because you could tell the poor runner was not happy looking 
I then followed the video and finally finished handsewing the binding on late last night.It is not perfect by a long run, but it looks sooooo much better.
Thank you all so much for all the advice, tips and for all the help . I could not have it done without you all.
You girls are the best

It is so pretty it's definitely worth the trouble of removing the binding and redoing it! As I've seen mentioned, cut the binding on the bias and it will be much more flexible for you. The corners will not be sharp angles, more rounded. Looking forward to seeing it again!

I agree with others that bias binding would help alot in this case.
The runner is beautiful especially since you made it off of a picture and not a pattern. Good Job! Be proud of what you did accomplish. This is just a flat tire on a road trip. You'll be running again soon.
