Idio,
Rich made a good suggestion a while back about old socks...cant remember the specifics but I think you turn them into fingerless gloves and then roll them up to your arms when your hands get hot!0 -

My hands normally warm up after half a mile, but it's not nice feeling all chilly to start out...
Indeed, old socks with holes in the toes are ideal.
Just cut the ends off - pull them down and scrunched into your hands in the early stages and then as you warm up just roll them back to your wrists.
The best athletes all do this so don't think its a cheapskate method
- its simply the best way to achieve the desired result! Gt NW 1/2 Marathon 21/2/2010 (Target=1:22:59) (6:20/mile) 1:22:47 (6:19):j:j
