Cindy Abrami first began running competitively at the age of 9.  She had a natural affinity to running as a child, and when her mom suggested she join the school cross-country team, well, so it began.  Running became a part of who she was and she competed all the way through school, and on club teams, and through her college years.  It was a chosen lifestyle, driven by the desire to live healthier than her parents had.  She lost both her parents to lifestyle related illnesses by the time she was 20.  She was determined to create a different fate for herself.

As part of that transformational journey, Cindy’s passion was healthy living and healthy eating.  She pursued and obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Food and Nutrition in 1991 (University of Nevada-Reno) and continued her running career without pause once her college days were complete.

The mother of two children, Cindy focused on her family while remaining active as a runner but chose not to train for competition during that time.  She still jumped in a race here and there, one of which actually was a marathon but for the most part, her goals were to raise healthy kids in a growingly sedentary world, teaching them to stay active, eat right, and to strive for great and amazing things.

Cindy returned to competition when she turned 40 and was able to once again dedicate time and energy to focused training and new goals.  It was during this time that she achieved all of her personal records at various race distances and added triathlon to her list of sports.  Over the past several years, she has earned two individual National age group titles (USATF National Masters Road 8K Championship in 2014, USATF National Cross-Country Championships in 2016), and has been the lead runner on two National Championship teams.
