I hate to tell you this, but a half marathon in two weeks is likely to put you right back where you are today. You may get away with a week's rest and some light running the week of the race. I'm almost certain though that 13.1 miles is going to aggravate your IT band all over again. You'll probably need to plan on a minimum of 2 weeks without running after your half. Hopefully bluegoose will weigh in on this thread today. But his advice is likely to be worse news.
