Diana Acebedo

 Meet Our Athletes 

Let’s take a moment to meet another one of our amazing athletes Diana Acebedo!

Although she will tell you that she doesn’t love it, Diana still shows up and puts her all into every run; making it look easy as she floats across mile to mile. She is the perfect example of someone who is stronger than they think. Not always convinced she can run the mileage at hand, Diana always finishes strong and motivated by the feeling of accomplishment after finishing a run before most people wake up. 

Diana has built a strong arsenal of tools to help her get through those mentally tough runs which include breaking her runs into segments or intervals with walk breaks (because time on your feet is still time on your feet). She also plays games with the music she listens to such as running to the beat or chorus pickups. And of course, if all else fails, a good cry always helps… because no one can tell the difference between sweat and tears, anyway 

After crushing her first half marathon at Sackets Harbor last year, Diana set a goal to not only become more comfortable with running longer distances but to also run a second half marathon this year, which she will do this weekend when she runs the Syracuse Half! Catch her afterwards enjoying a well-deserved reward… donuts, pizza, or maybe even something delicious from Tully’s! 

Enjoy it Diana, you’ve earned every bite!
