This morning at 6:45AM I went outside for a 5 mile run. The temperature is 34 with a windchill making it feel like 26. It is going to get much colder as the winter comes on, but I used the lightweight Sugoi mittens Donovan directed me to and they kept my hands comfortable without lining them with another glove. It was so nice to come in from the run and not have numb hands. Also, I used them yesterday while attending our daughters' (freshman and junior) Regional cross country meet. It was very windy and cold and I was able to manipulate the camera well enough wearing the mittens to snap pictures. Again, no numbness. I also ordered a pair of lycra leg warmers that I anticipate will help me with my cold walks across campus in the near future. So, I wanted to say THANKS to Donovan.
Leafing through rec.running, I read MSEagan's message of 17 Oct 2004:

I'll second that. Even though my winters in Atlanta only get as cold as you have it now, Donovan and Dot have been a great resource for clothing and gear. Just do a google groups search on rec.running and you'll see what I mean.
I read the other day that there is a space-travel tunnel connecting two very interesting points in distant space.

Thanks for his review site. Based on his recommendations, I just ordered myself the Infusion hat because I am so sick of messing with our old knit hats that are loose, don't cover ears, and are generally not too comfortable.

These sound good. My hands become so excruciatingly painful even in 40 degree temps that I have to stop. (with one layer of lightweight gloves!)
I just spent about 15 minutes searching the web for these mittens, and came up dry.
Anyone know where I can get the Sugoi mitts (by phone/net or locally in LA)?
Check out the movie "Being John Malkovitch" for more info...it's a hoot.

Glad you got this sorted out. Don't know where you live, but if it's 34 already, I can see that you really needed these. Even where I am in the relatively mild NY (heh!), dressing properly is not just a comfort issue, it's a serious health issue (and arguably a safety issue!) But take care of this stuff and winter running is a lot of fun.
