I was gripped from begining to end."‰чЙ‰чЙ‰чЙ‰чЙ‰чЙ "I felt like I was running right alongside her."BOOK DESCRIPTION"When I ran, I ran for pleasure. I didn‰ЫЄt 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‰ЫЄd have to ‰Ычlube up‰ЫЄ. I maintained that I was not a ‰Ычreal‰ЫЄ runner ‰ЫТ I just liked to run so that I could eat cake."Anna was never anything like those ‰Ычreal‰ЫЄ runners on telly ‰ЫТ all spindly limbs, tiny shorts and split times ‰ЫТ but when she read about New Zealand‰ЫЄs 3,000-kilometre-long Te Araroa Trail, she began to wonder‰Ы? perhaps being a ‰Ычreal‰ЫЄ runner was overrated.Maybe she could just run it anyway?Travelling alone through New Zealand‰ЫЄs 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 ‰ЫТ this story is for you.‰Єґ The books in the 'Anna's Adventures' series can be read in any order ‰Єґ
