Well, actually, running is basicly targeting your legs. The only thing your really doing is toneing your leggs and lossing calories, this doesn't nessisarily mean that your not losing wair its just that you are losing it in your legs rather then in your stomach, whis is where you want to. I think you should start doing curlups to start to sculpt your abs the way you want.

It sounds to me like you have issues. Honestly, if you're running for an hour straight almost every day of the week, you shouldn't worry about your stomach getting bigger. It would be nearly impossible for you to get fatter that fast because you would have to consume an alarming amount of calories. Your metabolism should be slightly higher than average because you exercise so much, meaning that you would have to consume more calories than most other people to maintain the same weight. Even if you put on any weight, it couldn't be more than a pound or two which would be inevitable and would be burned off when you returned to your running. Chill out and don't worry about getting fat. Another thing, if you're worried specifically about your stomach, try adding abdominal and oblique crunches to your exercise regimen. Like I said, don't worry about getting fat. If you can't stop worrying, see a specialist.
