Winter Running Gear

It's no secret to anyone who knows me...even just a little, I loathe being cold.  I can enjoy a pretty snow, and sledding.  But, I don't want to feel cold on my skin, on my bones.  I don't like it.  I get cold easy.  I can tolerate heat far better than the cold.

When I run with others, I have on 1-2 more layers than my running buddies, and I'm still freezing.  Their bodies warm up, I get stiff.

Last year was my first year running in the cold.  And boy was it COLD.  I layered, and layered.  I bought the best of the best cold gear.  I researched, I asked advice, and still found myself miserable.

Now, so far this year it hasn't been as cold.  So I may be jumping the gun here.  But it seems that I have found a great combo for me.  So, since I know there are other little cold people out there, here is what is working so far for me.
