Actually walking the half marathon distance isn't too bad, if you take your time and stroll. You'd be surprised how many miles you walk during a trip to the mall, etc.

The part that was tough for me was the time limitations. For the WDW 1/2, I trained for a consistent 15 minute mile (4 miles per hour) pace. That is a VERY brisk pace indeed and hard to keep up for 3 hours 15 minutes solid.

Yes, it is an ambitious goal to walk a half marathon, but you just can't beat the feeling at the end! Plus, I signed up so I'd be motivated to exercise and knowing the race was coming up really kept me motivated to get out there and walk.

You'll surprise yourself with how much you truly can accomplish!
