she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article__section article__section_type_text utility__text\">\n<p>For Roberts, walking is part of her everyday routine, leaving people in the dust that try to walk alongside her, like her son, Chuck, and daughter-in-law, Donna.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article__section article__section_type_text utility__text\">\n<p>&#8220;She\u2019s leading the way here,&#8221;
