on awake from nib theObject
	tell window of theObject
	set contents of text field "last_run" to date of file "path:to:file"
	end tell
end awake from nib

Wich date you want ?
Creation date or modification date ?

on awake from nib theObject 
   tell window of theObject 
   set contents of text field "last_run" to ¬
   	(modification date of (info for ("path:to:file" as alias))) as string
   end tell 
end awake from nib
