Winter Running Apparel

Question:
I want to keep running outside this winter but i need some clothing ideas I live up pretty far north and it gets cold around here - any website suggestions or even better any stores or chains in the area to check out? I am not the type who gets cold easily and Ido sweat a lot I would appreciate any suggestions...

Answer:
I suggest the National Sporting Goods catalog. The prices are reasonable and on the inside cover is a layering component guide. Their toll free number is 1-800-541-1773. I did not see a website address.

You can pick whatever fabrics feel most comfortable to you, then DRESS IN LAYERS. That's the key. Then if iner layers get wet with sweat, there are still some outer layers to protect you from the cold and wind. Even the opposite problem can occur, where it gets warmer than you planned for. You can then remove a layer and carry it, or even simply unzipping your topmost outer layer (jacket sweatshirt, whatever) can help.
