Getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to
remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.

Today it was 2F, -20F windchill and I ran in the same ultra thin socks I wear year round. My toes were fine.

One day at a time
Fortunately I had already decided that today would be an off day for me but after waking at 5:00 and seeing the temps were about 14F I was VERY grateful for my decision, as I pulled the covers over my head and went back to sleep. Tomorrow will be another story since tomorrow is not an off day. I'm still learning about running in cold temps, and I'm curious about how my toes will do below 25F.
I live and run in Athens, Georgia and believe it or not it does get cold here! This morning it was 22 degrees (F) with wind chill down to 11 degree (F) and very windy.

Barefoot and happy
One thing I've noticed about running in cold weather - it's always harder at the beginning of the season
Keeping your toes warm has very little to do with your socks. When your core is cold, your body reduces circulation to your feet. Keep your core warm and your toes will be warm. If your toes are cold you'd be better off putting a hat on your head or another layer on your upper body. Today it was 2F, -20F windchill and I ran in the same ultra thin socks I wear year round.
