nWhen 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.n n nn nAnna was never anything like those real runners on telly - all spindly limbs, tiny shorts and split times - but when she read about New Zealands 3,000-kilometre-long Te Araroa Trail, she began to wonder... perhaps being a real runner was overrated.n n nn nMaybe she could just run it anyway?n n nn nTravelling alone through New Zealands backcountry for 148 days, she scrambled through forests, along ridge-lines, 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.n n nn nThe Pants of Perspective is 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 coming-of-age 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.n
