Assuming the battery was in good condition to begin with (do you check battery fluid levels and top off w/ distilled H20 regularly? are the terminals clean of oxidation, etc.) and you didn't leave it discharged for several months, you should be able to recharge it.

Simply hook up the jumper cables again and run the other vehicle for 5 minutes or so at 2k rpm or higher before trying to start your vehicle. This will get the alternator in peak charge rpms (this is what AAA guys tell me anyways.).
