Well only you know how much you rolled after your tyre blew. Have you examined the wheel and checked for damage? Presumably either you or someone has fixed the problem so ought to be able to report as the state of the wheel.

Running round on a flat is very unlikely to do much damage to your rim - more likely to mess up your tyre if you do a lot of it on uneven ground but even that's pretty unlikely. It's more annoying than likely to do any damage.

It really pays to always keep an extra inner tube on hand.
