I should clarify.
Switched power off.
I removed the existing box. Replaced it with a new work box. Took one of the existing set of cables (black, white and ground) and twisted in my new run to the new outlet as well as a shorter "pigtail". Wirenutted and jammed everything into the box. Used the pigtail to attach to new a outlet that replaced the old one.
Then. I ran the new cable through a stud and up to a higher location closer to where my devices will reside. Installed another new work box and new outlet. Wired it all in. Switched power back on.
