Вообще сушествуют следующие варианты:
забегать вперед = to run a few steps forward, to run ahead; to forestall, to anticipate, to act in advance; to put the card before the horse (идиом.),
но мне кжется, что первый вариант - самый удачный.

looking/peeking ahead

Depending on the tone, looking or peeking ahead may work.
