There is not really a way to judge oneself on how much is too much or too little on taking in water. Taking in too much water can kill you also. Hyponatremia is an off set of your soduim/electrolytes. I just completed the Columbus marathon yesterday and about every two hours my intake was 2 cups. I drank a sodium drink along with a gel pak before the race and after the race. Temps were in the 70,s and I still passed clear fluids. Your body actually will get used to going without water to a point. As Ed did in his training, I train with little or no water during my training cycles.

Obey your thirst (drink when your thirsty) and watching your urine color is really the only way to know when someones body needs fluids. Remember many of the foods that we eat will dictate if we are thirsty or not, the heat index and the pyhscial exertion that our body is asked to do.
