Mind you, I'm wearing thermal tights, a craft baselayer, a windstopped jacket and thermal gloves with overmitts. And a hat. And wool socks. <sigh> I don't run without a jacket or vest until it's at least 55 degrees, and it has to be 60 or so before I can run in short sleeves. Even then, I need to carry (and often wear) some light gloves.

As for the run, it kinda sucked. Some days I just don't seem to have any flow.
Wow..I love running in the cooler/cold weather. My body does not do well in the heat at all. In the winters here in CO when I am backcountry ski touring I rarely have a jacket on or a hat. If I do have a hat on it is usualy a baseball cap. Once the temps creep up past 70 I have a harder time with my running.
