readjustment of a goal

I think that 18:00 may be a little bit of a stretch for me. I feel that about 18:25 is a more realistic goal. I'm not trying to aim any lower or make it so I work less hard, I just think that the goals I've set before have been a little bit out of reach. Last year I wanted to run 18:36, and I was 47 seconds behind that. So I think I should definitely be able to reach 18:25, whether it be Philomath, Adidas, or at district, since it looks like that is a fast course.
