I accidentally drove with parking brake on and...

Well, the wheels and brake parts were smoking a little and extremely hot. Drove about 2 miles with it on.
Story behind it is I was actually headed to do some landscaping work and had to get up REAL early (4am) I wsa hooked up to my friends 16" flat trailer to pick up some sod and it was parked in my driveway which is somewhat sloped so I had put the e-brake on when I parked it.
So I hop in half asleep at 4am and drive to gas station and realize that I had the e-brake on as I was coming to my senses near the gas station. (the vehicle was acting weird but i thought it was from the weight of the trailer.)
Anyway, I don't think anything is hurt and brakes are working fine, anybody more familiar with brakes chime in and let me know your opinion.
