#  Gear up for the running.  If you can, apply moisturizer on your skin to keep itching and dryness away.  Invest in good ski-mask or hoodie that will protect your neck, head and face from bitter wind.  Pull a knit or fleece cap over your ears and wrap a scarf around your neck and mouth if you don't have a ski mask.  Find a lightweight but warm winter jacket for you to wear.  These are usually fleece.  Gear up under it with a t shirt (long sleeved or short sleeved) and a sweatshirt.  Too warm will cause you to sweat after a few seconds of running.  Wear leggings and sweatpants, or long underwear and sweatpants.
