have a stern word with yourself and get out there and run. You are a grown up now.

No! Don't stop - we all have bad runs, negative feelings etc - I'm sure the next run will be better. Just remember how great it feels when you have nailed it.

Thanks Guys

I smashed it !well it was a real head battle and to be honest took loads of recovery time my fit bit said my heart rate was up still after tens minutes but I listened to you all and yes was thankful for the time and moved on. Seems like the head battle is the worse with me!
