try a fuelbelt. it goes around your waist, doesn't bounce, feels balanced, and holds several small water bottles evenly spaced out around your waist. check them out here:
www.fuelbelt.com
nike also makes one that is similar. the thing i like about the nike one is that the parts that hold the bottles aren't fixed, so you can move them to where they are most comfortable, and also add or subtract water bottles.
another option is to run a route you can circle a couple times, where you can stop at an area where you can keep bottles at...like a car.
or you can look into marathon training groups in your area that provide water, or try to find routes in your area that have water fountains.
i've also seen people hide sealed water bottles along their route. they'll hide them in bushes or behind trees. if you go this route...just please make sure to dispose of your bottles properly.
another thing...if you're planning to train for a marathon, you might need a little more than just water to sustain you. "performance nutrition for runners" by matt fitzgerald is a good resource for fueling your training, and finding out how much you need to be drinking. at some point you'll have to take in some carbs and electrolytes.
good luck & stay hydrated.
