It wasn't miles per week it was a single run from the sound of it.
My advice is twofold:
1. Ice and stretching.
2. Google a cure for stupidity ;-) and take it.
Yes it's your body, but remember that it treats you about the way it you treat it. 20mi run is not a bad thing... I >used< to do that weekends myself when I was younger. It's fairly typical for marathon training to have a long run in each week's training.
What was 'stupid' was doing this after 'not running for a while' If you are
getting started running again it's not the right time to put in the longest run you've ever done. I think you might want to pick up some books on running as training and look at how it ought to be done. Maybe also look at:

Jeff Galloway provided me with a pile of nice advice (in print not in person) during my running years).
