MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) –
An 85-year-old grandmother is proving that even a pandemic can’t stop her from enjoying every day.

Betty Gust lives in Minnetonka. Since there wasn’t much else to do once COVID hit, she and her friend Kay decided to walk together.

That was in June, and since then, Gust has walked at least 100 miles each month. This month, she reached 217 miles.

Good for her. I'll bet that her overall health is a lot better than that of those who sit around all day.

This beautiful lady was 74 (or 75?) when this was recorded...

I am glad to see something positive about Minnesota show up here.

I could have used your company when I visited Alaska in 2018...my daily goal was 10,000 steps a day and boy did I ever sleep good at night! Walking is simply the very best exercise a senior can do and it is free! I am usually outdoors every day and keep an old ski pole in hand during the Winter months.
