Can I hike 22miles in two days.

I am thinking of solo backpacking the ten Lakes trail in yosemite. I would start from the may lake side, and try to go as far as I could the first day, camp overnight and then finish the trail via ten lakes to the ten lakes trail head next day.
My tent and sleeping bag together will be around 7-9lb and I will probably carry a propane stove among other stuff.
And a little about me,
This is my first overnight back packing trip and I am 5'8" with a little over 120lb.
I had pretty good stamina when I was practicing abt 2years ago, but now I dont think I am that good.
Last april I hiked the Upper Yosemite falls trail which was really hard for me, and took about 7hrs (with 1hr break). But that was because, the night two days before I drove for 12hrs with only 4 hr rests in between, and then hiked a very small mount without doing any stretching exercises the night before.
So given those info, What do you guys think about my plans and have any recommendation on the things I should carry? As I said, this is my first camping trip and have never been at altitudes over 8000ft.
