When I ran, I ran for pleasure. I didnt run for times, to win, to impress I ran for me. When I ran my bum cheeks rubbed together, so much so that if I was going on a long run Id have to lube up. I maintained that I was not a real runner I just liked to run so that I could eat cake.Anna was never anything like those real runners on telly all spindly limbs, tiny shorts and split times but when she read about New Zealands 3,000kilometrelong Te Araroa Trail, she began to wonder perhaps being a real runner was overrated. Maybe she could just run it anyway?Travelling alone through New Zealands backcountry for 148 days, she scrambled through forests, along ridgelines, over mountain passes, along beaches and across swollen rivers. Running up to 52 kilometres in a day, she slept wild most nights, and was taken into the homes and hearts of the kiwi people in between.The Pants of Perspectiveis a witty, colourful and at times painfully raw account of a journey to the edge of what a woman believes herself to be capable of. It is a comingofage story which will lead you on a roller coaster ride through fear, vulnerability, courage and failure. For anyone who has ever dreamt of taking on a great challenge, but felt too afraid to begin this story is for you.
