No kidding. That's about what I wear for -10 or so...
For runs about zero, I'd wear my Brooks winter weight tights (these are old so I'm sure newer ones are more effective); and I have some "Arctic" pants by Hind to put over the tights.
For my top, I always try to keep my core warm. I have a vest made of the softest wool ... as my first layer. One or two tech type long-sleeved shirts. I have a heavy weight top for winter running, it's cool with a hood and it's bright pink. I love it. If it's colder than zero, I'll add a fleece jacket. This is the jacket I'll wear all the way down to -30 and it works just fine.
Head: Colder temps I'll add a balaclava (I got a nice new one with holes for the mouth/nose area which really helps the breathing, but at the really cold temps even these frost up and make it difficult to breathe.) but add the headband over that cuz my ears get cold easily.
Hands: Glove liners, a light polypro if warmer, heavier fleece if colder. Right now, I'm just wearing the fleece ones alone. Colder temps, I have a couple of different weights of mittens I add over them. Nothing beats mittens for keeping your hands warm, especially with a glove liner inside.

I ran a mile and I liked it, liked it, liked it. dgb2n@yahoo.com
69 degrees today. Ran in shorts and sleeveless tech shirt. Thats way better than the 84 degrees it was 2 days ago. Ran in shorts and short sleeve tech shirt then too.
Happy Camper
