It looks like she only walked home from work, and didn't need to walk both ways. I can't confirm if she was getting full-time hours at work. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/11/04/gofundme-fedex-worker-darlene-quinn-12-mile-walk/4154337002/
She is likely taking about 4 hours to walk each way.
I had to walk 18km to and from work for a while, but I was (likely) in better shape than her, so the 18 km took me three hours.
Yeah that does make more sense, fair enough! I remember reading about this when it happened back then too.
Walking at six miles an hour is running speed.
I used km in my post, so the speed is about 3.75 miles per hour.
