I don't bring water with me just because there are a lot of water fountains (or bubblers depending on where you're from - God I hate that term) along the bike path I run on and I try to stop every few miles for a quick sip just to stay hydrated. I take hammer gels at the 1hr mark and then 45min to an hr after that. I definitely need to start calorie loading better pre runs though as I can tell the difference in how I feel on the days that I don't. Morning of a long run I usually have a piece of bread with a banana or an orange. I started bringing a $20 with me for emergency purpose (need extra food/water/ something happens and I need a cab back or to make a phone call, etc.) didn't for a while then thought it would be smart to carry some money.
