famed Camino de Santiago:
a large network of ancient
pilgrim routes stretching
across Europe and merging
at the tomb of St. James
(Santiago in Spanish) in
Santiago de Compostela
Spain, according to press
materials.
Wood told the first half
of this story in February.
She is back to finish it, orga-
nizers said.
She will discuss the
emotional and physical
obstacles she faced in 2012
as a 66-year-old when she
decided to hike 500 miles
in 40 days along the famed
pilgrimage route in southern
France and northwestern
Spain. Wood also hiked
another 500 miles on a con-
necting portion of the trail
through France in 2013.
“The first walk was just
to come to terms with being
alone and being frightened
of being alone. It was about
getting my personal strength
back and seeing how I
would perform,” she said in
a release.
The second trek was
about reconnecting with
the inner tough girl, of her
youth, who was the driven
Olympic athlete.
Wood attended the
University of Oregon, and
became an English teacher.
She was inducted into the
Oregon Sports Hall of Fame
in 1992. “Tough Girl” is her
first book.
