Sorry that you had a bad morning, but we all do so don't let it get to you. Do what you can and move on.
As for trying again tonight - no harm in trying, but depending on the cause you might face the same problem. Be prepared to bag it if you experience the same pain/cramping.
I am just going to try again tomorrow morning. It will be another early day, but I really want to push through this. Plus I was looking at the 10K Galloway app and it is 13 weeks long! I am really afraid of not being prepared in October. Heck I'm worried about making the 5k in 2 1/2 weeks!
We all end up with days we just aren't going to do what we set out to get done.
I would definitely look into getting fitted for shoes.
Also make sure you are stretching prior to working out.
I got new shoes before I started running so they probably only have about 15-20 miles on them so far and my feet/knees feel great. I just need to figure out the cramping thing. Lifting my knees higher is helpful and usually will make it so I don't get the cramping at all. Idk what my problem was this morning. As for the stretching, I have not been doing it before my run, but instead doing it after.
