    Thank you again for the help. I am going to continue walking for now and see if I can find some specific strength training exercises for my knee.

    I looked up the pace requirements for the Disney runs and it is a 15 minute mile requirement. I have honestly never calculated how fast I can walk a mile. Maybe it is possible to power walk a 15 minute mile?

    If you build up to it, a mile in 15 minutes is definitely doable :) If I push, I can walk a 16 minute mile, and my joints are screwed. If it's 15 minutes a mile, walking some and jogging or running some should make it possible. If a 5k at 15 minutes a mile is your goal, if you train right you'll probably be able to make it. Just remember to take it slowly. You can get there, but it's worth it to pace your training so you reach it safely.
