How's it been so far? It's been in the 20's here recently, and I've been thinking about starting running again.

And I'll just second the 'wear layers' comments. You don't want to sweat in cold weather, you can get hypothermia

And when choosing your layers for cold weather, remember cotton is bad. Because of its absorption, any sweat will hang out right around your skin. The reason wool is preferred is that its absorption holds the moisture towards the center of its fibers. That's why it can feel dry if it's wet (thx google).
