The Pants Of Perspective: One Woman's 3,000 kilometre running adventure through the wilds of New Zealand

"When I ran, I ran for pleasure. I didnâ€™t 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 Iâ€™d have to â€˜lube upâ€™. I maintained that I was not a â€˜realâ€™ runner â€“ I just liked to run so that I could eat cake."

Anna was never anything like those â€˜realâ€™ runners on telly â€“ all spindly limbs, tiny shorts and split times â€“ but when she read about New Zealandâ€™s 3,000-kilometre-long Te Araroa Trail, she began to wonderâ€¦ perhaps being a â€˜realâ€™ runner was overrated. Maybe she could just run it anyway?

Travelling alone through New Zealandâ€™s 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.

The 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 â€“ this story is for you.
