Run harder and on more hills to generate more heat.

Do you wear anything over the tights? I usually have pants or a pair of shorts over the top. I have a pair of Sugoi cycling tights that do well.

LOL. Find me a place that has more hills than Cincinnati and I will.

Sometimes I wear two pairs of tights. (Admittedly, the ones I have aren't pricey so they're probably not great quality.) I could try running shorts over top but I'm skeptical because my running shorts are all so thin. I don't like pants when running because I don't like them flapping around my ankles.

Let's just say Sir Mix-A-Lot was thinking of someone like me when he coined the phrase "little in the middle but you got much back". I have to be pretty much drowning in an article of clothing for it to cover my butt! And if it's long but form-fitting, it will pop right up. But fleece-lined tights may be the key - none of my tights are lined.

Cut through department stores and use the stairs. They won't mind as long as you buy something!

I should have mentioned about the fleece lining too. Tights don't necessarily have an exact temperature rating, but they should be able to give general guidelines on what conditions they're meant for. There can be a significant difference. I can be fine just under zero.

Poly Pro's are another option.  They're great for extreme cold training.  Layers. 2-3 layers of material around anything with poly pro's will keep everything warm in cold temps.

x2 on the Nikes, I use them and they are great. My wife swears by the Under Armor cold weather gear bottoms. She has two pair and runs outside in the WI winter consistantly without complaint.

When it's really cold, I wear underwear under my tights. Road Runner Sports makes SUPER comfy women's underwear, wicking, don't ride up, and cheaer than UA, etc.

If the above don't work it is well below zero and have a beer by the fire.
