A firefighter broke his foot 8 miles into the London Marathon. He still finished.
Steven Quayle had little time to train for the London Marathon, but he still felt pretty good during the early part of Sunday's race.
Then, around 8 miles in, he stepped on a loose water bottle, injuring his right foot, calf and hip. "I expected there to be pain along the way and carried on, thinking I would run it off," said Quayle, who's from Douglas on the Isle of Man."The pain got continually worse however, and by mile 16 I was really struggling and stopped at a physio tent for assistance."Most people probably would have given up.
