Well, getting too excited most of the time kills lucidity, although it's very hard NOT to be excited the first time you have a lucid dream!! I don't remember my first lucid dream very well anymore, but it didn't last very long too due to this very reason!
I don't know how blurry your lucid dream was, but increasing lucidity is a great way to increase its duration! You could rub your hands to do that or say out loud: "Increase lucidity a 1000 times!" That's usually my technique of getting more bright lucid dreams!! When your lucid dream starts to really fade I think it's best to spin around though!!
Furthermore, it's a good thing to have a list next to your bed with things you want to undertake when being lucid or at least have an idea of what to do. I've got a list next to my bed and I look into it every time I go to sleep. I've written ways to stay lucid on it, places I want to visit, things I want to undertake, etcetera. This way you both increase the chance of becoming lucid and increasing 'productivity' when lucid and therefore strengthening your lucid dream.. it's a shame when you are finally lucid and you know nothing to do: I had that many times!
Good luck!
