Long run - 7-8 Miles

I only made it a bit over 6 today. My IT band started acting up. It was my own fault, should have switched my long run until tomorrow. I woke up at 9:30 only because my phone was ringing, and it was my brother telling me that there was a party for my dad at 1pm. Awesome, thanks for confirming that for me hours before the party. So I tried to do a Rushed run, I did not eat, and I barely stretched, and I paid for it.
Sometimes my ipod acts funny, and it ended the run early - so I have it as 2 separate runs, but it is one run. Anyway, the main point is that it was not an impressive or enjoyable run.
