<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A witty, colourful and painfully raw account of a journey to the edge of what a woman believes herself to be capable of. For anyone who has ever dreamt of taking on a great challenge, but felt too afraid to begin - this story is for you.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>When I ran, I ran for pleasure. I didn'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 I'd have to 'lube up'. I maintained that I was not a 'real' runner - I just liked to run so that I could eat cake.</em></p><p>Anna was never anything like those 'real' runners on telly - all spindly limbs, tiny shorts and split times - but when she read about New Zealand's 3,000-kilometre-long Te Araroa Trail, she began to wonder... perhaps being a 'real' runner was overrated. Maybe she could just run it anyway?</p><p>Travelling alone through New Zealand'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.</p><p><em>The Pants of Perspective</em> 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. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>"A thrilling coming of age journey that'll make you yearn for adventure" - <strong>RUNNER'S WORLD</strong></em></p><p><em>"Beaming with limitless positivity and ambition" - <strong>WOMEN'S RUNNING</strong></em></p><p><em>"A story that inspires others to blaze a trail."<strong> - THE GUARDIAN</strong></em></p><p><em>"She's rough, she's tough, she's Anna McNuff!"- <strong>PAUL ROSS, TALK RADIO</strong></em></p><p><em>"This is travel with a difference...
