In my upcoming novel WHAT SHE NEVER SAID (Thomas & Mercer - September, 2019) my protagonist, Ruth Mosby, is fixated on walking a minimum of 10,000 steps a day. She’s not in it for the health benefits, rather for a desire to stay thin compounded by a low-level obsessive-compulsive disorder. When I began the first draft of this thriller, I purchased a FitBit for research purposes and like Ruth, set a daily goal of 10,000 steps. I’m a lifelong runner and hiker so it’s been interesting to observe my response. I have no problem reaching my daily goal if I run my usual three to five miles, but I struggle to hit the minimum on the days I replace a run with my core-focused cross training workout. Rotating my routine is a key component of my regimen and has allowed me to continue to run for thirty-some years. But that’s where the compulsive side of me takes over. Like Ruth, I have to achieve those 10,000 steps. I’ve even found myself walking in circles in order to reach my goal before climbing into bed.
