No, no, no! That's a no no! Rest days are as important as run days. It's when the muscles repair tiny microtears and rebuild stronger which in turn enables you to run further next time. Failure to take rest days leads to fatigue and injury. You're doing great, stick to the plan

What Steve said! Rest days are not for running... find another workout to do, there’s lots of choices!

Take a break. I failed C25k first time round because I tried to run before I could walk (literally).
