Cold Start Dilema..Advice needed

Its cold here in Indiana and my old 300td just doesn't like cold weather. I can't get it to start lately and I think its because its been too cold. So I installed a diesel giant block heater. Now I've read through the install instructions and it says DO NOT use block heater until you've ran the car a few days in order to remove air from system (the heating element will burn out if it encounters an air bubble. So I need to start my car in order to use my block heater, but I can't start my car unless I use the block heater. Any suggestions on other ways to heat my block to get out of this vicious cycle. I know you all will have the answer..thanks
