You're probably reading texts from before xorlo (http://www.lojban.org/
tiki/How+to+use+xorlo), {le} is not so common now.
Rule of thumb is, {le} refers to a specific object/abstract you have
in mind. In this case it's a specific event of running, probably known
from context. So the former would be "I like that I'm running" [or
"will be running" or "was running" etc., depending of the time of the
event] and the latter -- "I like running" (probably, because {lo} is
*not* an indefinite article; it has undefined definiteness).
