Depending on your age, that could be a "menopot." I've read a few articles, stating the prior to menopause, women start accumulating fat more in the tummy area. It's your body's way of protecting your bones as you enter "the change."

Sara, try not to stress out about it. If your injury allows you to crosstrain, now is the perfect time to discover another activity. Rowing is great. Swimming? Incorporate some weight training and/or yoga.

This is the perfect time of year to have some extra padding, too. Keep you warmer...
