Textures

Problems with my model, it was easy enough to create the polygons (lets face it, it's pretty basic) but now I'm starting to texture it and it isn't quite working... For the main body I used a sphere which I stretched to make into a capsule-ish shape. But now, trying to get the texture onto it and that just stretches too... Not quite what I want :/

Update. I replaced the sphere with a cylinder and used soft-select to bulge the ends. Easy enough solution.
