Keeping Hydrated... best types of water carrying devices?

So I'm only on week two, a beginner for sure but I'm finding it hard to run without water. I hate carrying a waterbottle or anything for that matter when I am running and I am looking for some advice on what people have used and think is the best carrying device when running? I've heard conflicting things about the belts so I think I want a arm strap or something but any suggetions would be greatly appreciated!!!!

I really hated running with water - just because I don't like to be encumbered by a lot of gadget/equipment whilst running. The belts were annoying for me. I found a small water bottle for runners with a handle, and that was the least annoying option for me.
But, really, unless you are running a long distance (the "rule" I adopted was over an hour of running), you don't need water on your run. I would hydrate an hour before I ran (a pint of water 60-90 minutes before), then just run without. Especially if you are good at keeping up your water intake throughout the day, dehydration on a C25k run shouldn't be a problem.0
