Yes. To be honest, this is the only way to gauge your "re-entry" into the world. Sometimes you'll have an awesome experience, sometimes your brain will make you pay for it. But either way, you won't know until you try.
I'm so happy that you had a positive experience! Hopefully you are feeling good today too. Don't get cocky though! Just know that you may be able to tolerate a little bit more than you thought so slowly start doing more if you aren't in pain today.
That's awesome that you had fun!
