Running VS training with weights

I realize it is important to weight train in order to lose fat so I have added that to my program 4 days a week.
If I am running 5 days a week do I have to add additional weight training in for my legs?
I kind of don't want to do so because my legs are already my most powerful part of my body and I don't think I want more muscle on them.
Will I not reach the full benifits of weight training if I don't work my legs or will the running do it for me?
All advice and comments are totally appreciated!!!!
 
Working out your legs will help the development of the rest of the muscles in your body. Your legs are the biggest muscle group of your body and the more muscle you have the more resources your body put toward muscle development. Plus...it is a good idea for your body to be balanced.

I run a ton, but I still work out my legs.

Just my $.02
 
resistance training is vital for maintaining strength and lean bodyweight. losing fat and muscle mass will wreak havoc on ones metabolism :(
