I recently have bumped up my mileage by about 20 miles and what I have noticed in the 4 weeks is that I am 10 pounds heavier but I am running faster. My easy pace has gotten faster and I feel pretty light while running.
Should I be concerned? My thighs are just about touching now. But I feel them and they don't appear to be as flappy and feel very strong. Just large now.
This is pretty common. Distance running was historically only used when in emergency situations and releases stress hormones. In these situations, the human body tends to hold onto as many calories as possible and stores these predominantly in the belly area.
There is an easy fix but you're not gonna like it.
Run less, lift more, eat paleo.
I know that you are a runner and that the real Xfit guy goes buy Xfit_guy_the_real_one_1, but still, metcons are way more catabolic than any long run or track workout that runners do.

I am.
Had to change to Xfit_guy_the_real_1 so I could register it. There were too many imposers trying to ridicule CrossFit so I had to protect myself.

Everyone knows that the real XFit guy has a capital F.
