I've been doing occasional slower / longer / night runs in a l/s top. Gloves are never necessary - can be painful for a wee while, but after 30 mins or so you're feeling fine. Legs are actually incapable of feeling cold - they don't have the requisite nerve endings that you get in other parts of the body.
Hot runs in summer are awful - we should be allowed to run like the ancient Greeks intended.
I sound like an old git, but when you have creaky/injured/worn out knees a slightest drop in temp makes you reach for the cordurouy trousers. My knees get freezing, cold knees = pain and injury.
