Cool Gerunds and Participles, again!
Help!

Question #1: In the sentence "She came home running." is running a Gerund, or a Participle?

If it's a participle, what is it modifying?

And Question #2.. Can participles act as adverbs, modifying verbs or adjectives?

I'd really appreciate any light shed on this. Me eyes are spinning in their sockets!
