Shouldn't have hurt the starter, it should have been 'open' if the motor was running at the time. Could have opened a strap in the battery (connects the cells together) though. You can get them load tested at almost any parts house. And make sure the NEG cable didn't get "upset" with the draw. Check both ends for good, clean, tight contact.
