To find how far Elena had run, we need to multiply the length of the course by the fraction she ran before stopping to drink water: 7/8 mile * 2/3 = <<7/8*2/3=14/24>>14/24 miles. Simplifying the fraction, 14/24 = 7/12. Elena had run 7/12 of a mile before stopping to drink water. Answer: \boxed{\dfrac{7}{12}}.
