Half Marathon Training...not what I expected!

So the last few weeks I've felt like I'm getting bigger and I just didn't understand it. I mean who starts training for a half marathon and actually gets bigger? Crazy right?!?!?! My pants are not fitting like they used to in the waist and legs. I guess it is muscle building which is nice, but I'm sure not liking the 'bigger' feeling! Well I started searching for answers and I think I have found some. Looks like I won't have that lean runners body until after the half is over. That's a bummer...however I'm still going to cut my calories by 500 more than I burn a day and see if that helps me...because my no likey the extra bulk!

Check out these links for answers!
