“It’s just an awesome, awesome day and I wouldn’t have missed it for the world and I had a lot of people pulling for me as every runner does,” Haslet told The Boston Herald after completing the 26.2-mile course.
Tom Brady was among the many who posted messages of support for Haslet ahead of, and during her race.
