Pioneers don’t come along everyday. However, in Boise, we are gifted to have many. Among some pioneers is Anne Audain, founder of the Women’s Fitness Celebration! Twenty years ago, Audain, a multi-gold medalist in running, began a race here in Boise, Idaho. This week Idaho will celebrate its long legacy. However, Audain has a bit of personality as well.
