Walk half of the distance

You are in a large hall. There is a pretty girl at the other end of the hall. You are old that it takes 10 seconds to walk half of the distance to the girl, another 10 seconds to walk half of the remaining distance, another 10 seconds to walk half of the remaining distance, and so on. How long will it take you to reach the girl?

Most people will say that you will never reach the girl. No matter where you are, it will take 10 seconds to walk half of the remaining distance.

What is the practical answer?
