I thought I'd do it

In the example:

Yang Li: Your boss told you to run to the studio – hmm strange.
Kaz: No no, she said "Kaz, when you start tomorrow's program, I want you to hit the ground running".
Yang Li: "I want you to hit the ground running" – sounds rather dangerous.
Kaz: Well, I thought I'd do it literally– you know, just for fun.

What does ‘I’d’ mean? (I would or I should)
If it is ‘I would,’ then what does the sentence “I thought I’d do it literally” mean?
