I have at least 8 cups of tap water a day, but usually more on my longer runs.

Most sport drinks do have some electrolytes, but are loaded with sugar. Powerade now makes sugar free sports drinks. There are some electrolytes in them to keep you going, but if you are a hard core runner, then you might want to talk to your doctor about taking potassium supplements, as well as a B complex. You shouldn’t take extra vitamins unless you have a blood test and/or your doctors orders.

Anyone in NJ into 5ks? Every sunday of January, they are having a 5k race in Freehold, and it only cost about 5 bucks to enter each time. Its smaller, but loads of fun, you should check it out.
