Quote - Also, what can I do to make it look like she's actually moving across the ground, rather than sort of gliding over it?  I'm not sure why it looks that way.  Please advise.

 

That's because the foot "planted" into the ground isn't staying stationary, it's moving all over the ground as the animation continues. There should also be a slight pause when the foot hits the ground, as, with each stride, you accellerate and decellerate from point "A" to point "B" each time, so it wouldn't be a continuous speed, but speed up, slow down, repeat for every stride.
