Ever run waaay more than planned?

Early in the summer we moved into a new house.  I went for a short run and got lost.  My back hurt for a few days after so now I pay attention so I can do what I can to minimize injuries.  I do get the runners high as well and I love it.

Congrats on your run. Even if you felt and do feel great, I'd just add in a bit of extra recovery time to allow your body to adapt to the added training stress you added. Maybe take tomorrow off if you weren't planning, and skip the tempo run later this week or sub a swim for a scheduled short run.

But after that, proceed with your plan.  It would probably be tempting to build from the new long distance if you are in a volume building period.  I'd recommend against that, even though I'd be half-way tempted myself.  Instead, I'd consider taking the 4 or so weeks it was probably going to take you to build from 10 to 14 in your plan... and run 12, 14, 12, 14... and also throw in a weekly lactate threshold session or VO2 max session (depending on your upcoming racing goals) that you couldn't otherwise afford when you were in a volume build.

Just my $0.02.

I'd just graduated from high school that spring, and was spending most of the summer training for a fall marathon. Yup -- not working, just running and odd jobs. I was boosting my long run...

I started out with a small daypack that had spare shoes, socks, and water. I had a vague idea where I wanted to go... Almost 4 hours later I got back home. Tired, but otherwise okay. My parents were curious where I'd gone, so later that day when we had to go somewhere, they clocked it in the car... 22 miles. I had no idea until that moment that I'd run that far...

A few edits and you have my version.

Yes and I messed up my knee, to far to fast.  Now weeks and weeks later I am slowly back up to 5 miles.  However I am walking every now and again.

I am really curious about your tag line, I could only imagine the bad thing that happened.
