I've seen "Runnable" in 2k, but never "Running" and, as you probably found out, BOL 2k doesn't have much info on the sysProcesses table... but the following URL (from BOK 2k5), does...

Google search was "SYSPROCESSES RUNNABLE RUNNING" 😉

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
