In this scenario, you'd fill with a past continuous tense rather than a present perfect tense. Hence "running" is the correct answer since, its all over (past). /Sameer

The choice between a gerund (-ing) and an infinitive (to ...) for the subject of a sentence is usually made in favor of the gerund. The infinitive is sometimes used for a sentence that expresses an "eternal verity" or a future potentiality (To err is human.) but for most ordinary conversation, the gerund is used as subject.
