If you run an adventure as  Dungeon Master, you can play it afterwards.

Assuming that the table isn't replaying the very same part of the adventure you already experienced, you can continue with the same character.

There are a lot of semantics causing confusion:   SESSION: A session is an block of play, from the time you sit down at the table to the time you leave. Typically, sessions run either 2 hours (Encounters) or 4 hours (Expeditions).   EPISODE: An episode consists of a string of multiple encounters which typically lasts over multiple sessions. During an episode, you may not be able to take a short or long rest between sessions. Encounters, HotDQ, and LMoP are organized by episode.   ADVENTURE: May range from a series of episodes (Encounters has 3, LMoP has 4) to a single session (Expeditions).    Some things (award XP and treasure) happen at the end of each session; some happen at the end of each episode (faction points and downtime); some happen at the end of an adventure (all of the above).
