Ok after a little digging, I get it. If 'running' is the action, it's not a gerund, but if 'running' is the subject then it is a gerund. I never really even heard 'gerund' until recently. (maybe I shouldn't admit that . . .)

Or it might be object. 'I despised Leanne's chastising of the lcoal youths'

'Chastising' is here a gerund, although it is the the object of 'despised'. I think Verb-noun is more useful then gerund.
