Marathon Training

I have just signed up for my first marathon. The issue is I live in New Jersey and I will begin my training when the weather is cold. Any tips or suggestions for winter running outdoors?

    Enjoy it.... It's way easier and more enjoyable than running in the heat, in my opinion.

    Get technical shirts, etc and wear layers because after 1 mile you'll be way warmer than you could have imagined! Things like scarves, gloves, entire hats I usually just end up carrying so I stopped wearing them. I'd rather be chilly for 1 mile than have to carry all that stuff for 5.
