I just take water with me. Gatorade gives me stomach cramps because of all the sugar. If you do put something else in there, just make sure to test it before you take it on a long run. A long run is not a good time to try something new.

... I'm looking at buying something or some kind of water belt, carrying the bottles just is not working for me... My question is what to put in the bottles. I've never even thought of anything besides water. Do I need to think about Gatorade or other things?
Wow, I have a lot to learn. Just ran my first half and registered for a a full in October. Thought you'd just lace up and go! Not so much the case as you increase those mileages is it! Thank you all so much for the great advice. Now I need to research the drinks you talked about and their intend outcomes. Only been a water girl so far! This running stuff gets pretty addictive. My hubby is already rumbling about all of the time and money. Girl gotta have cute clothes, new running shoes (often) diGarmin, Ipod, now fuel belt. He'll just die.
