if it's a steady CEL, and you notice nothing different about the car, drive it however you want.
If the CEL is blinking, you probably can already tell there's something wrong with the motor by a sound, how it's running, etc.
maybe since you haven't redlined it yet, you got a bunch of gunk moving and out of the cylinder slamming into the 02 sensor causing it to trip the code. I've seen it happen a few times (rare though)

If it's just a solid light, go to a local autoparts store and ask them to read the code, they'll most likely do it for free. They put it there for a reason, ignoring it seems like bad advise to me.
