Please don't be so hard on yourself - I know it's called c25k but the aim is to run for 30 mins regardless of how far you get. It takes lots of people a lot longer to get to 5k in anytime never mind in 30 mins. You're doing well so stop thinking you are failing when honestly you are not. You are out there and you are running - that's more than a lot of others can do x
