Rule of thumb is to dress as you would if it were 10 degrees warmer since you'll warm up as you go. You'll have to adjust to your personal preference though. All the way down to thirty degrees I'm in a quarter zip and shorts but my wife is bundled up. Just depends on cold tolerance.

As for time. Probably depends on where you're running. The earlier you go out the more I'd favor well lit areas such as the promenade. I will routinely go out around 4AM and just run along the water. There's not much going on at that time and if I see other people it's only a handful.

Do you drive to the promenade? The downtown promenade is about 25 min walk from me..

Ah, nah. I live close by in Fed so I just run there. What area/neighborhood are you in if you don't mind me asking?

If you're on the peninsula, out towards Locust Point I think you'd be pretty good anywhere. I've never run in to any issues over that way early in the morning. I'm not sure how far you're running but it's about 1 mile from Fort McHenry to the intersection of Fort and Lawrence and you can zigzag all through those neighborhood blocks without issue.

If you're on the Pigtown side, I would usually cross MLK and run through Ridgleys and around UMD and that Western edge of Fed. Up and down Hanover and Charles St to Ostend or Hamburg and loop back.
