Here is a possibility that hasn't been discussed before: it has been ridiculously hot in New England this summer. VM was probably used to running in the evening after work and, if she was mostly running the High Line and Chelsea area, she may have benefitted from a breeze off the river. Fast forward to a very hot, humid mid-day run. Could the heat have prompted her to walk part of her route? And could someone she knew or at least recognized from the neighborhood have offered her a ride home? Knowing that she was on a tight schedule to catch the bus back to NYC, a ride might have been appealing.
True it's possible. She did have her cell phone though. I'd think she would have called for a ride had she needed one, but you never know.
Also early on it was reported that she was seen walking on the road and talking on her cell phone.
I'll see if I can find an early article when they had first reported that.
