(CNN) - Hillary Clinton continues to play coy with whether or not she is running for president.

At Barbara Walters' final taping of ABC's The View, the former secretary of state and prohibitive favorite for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016 was a surprise guest.

During her sit-down with Clinton, Walters asked Clinton whether she is running for president.

Continuing a tradition of joking about the 2016 election, Clinton said, "I am running - around the park."

Since leaving the State Department in 2013, Clinton has crisscrossed the country delivering paid speeches and appearing at high profile events. She acknowledged in April that she was "thinking" about running for president and has seen a number of former staffers begin to organize groups at the prospect of her candidacy.

Walters' final episode of The View was taped on Thursday and featured a cadre of high profile female journalists and newsmakers. The episode will air on Friday.

Walters is retiring from television journalism on Friday after a storied and groundbreaking five-decade career in the business. An icon for women in the profession and someone known for landing high profile interviews, Walters told CNN that she "knew it was time" for her to retire.

"I like all the celebration, that's great. But in my heart, I thought, 'I want to walk away while I'm still doing good work,'" Walters told CNN's Chris Cuomo. "You have to leave sometime, don't you? I want to leave while people like you are saying, 'Why are you going?' I just know it's the time to go."

Clinton offered Walters some advice on how to handle her upcoming influx of free time.

"First of all, take some time off," Clinton said.
