I don't think there's such a thing as failing with C25K (unless you just stay on the Couch I guess). There are many reasons you weren't able to do the run you wanted; have a rest, don't beat yourself up about it and try again. You know you can do it when it's the right time for you.

Not a “failed” run; a “practice” run after your holiday! It’s great that you can have a break and still want to get back into it when you get home. All is well 😊

Like everyone else has said, you didn't fail because the only failure is not to try. The run is still there, you can still do it - it's exactly the same as W6R3 which you've already done, so it's not beyond you. You just didn't manage to complete it TODAY but you'll do it soon. Don't forget to take your rest day first though.
