<b>Day 35</b><br>The team moved forward a further 3.3 virtual miles to move north from Newtonmore to Kingussie, home of Ruthven Barracks (pic).<p><b>Strange Fact 35</b><br> Located near Kinggussie Ruthven Barracks are the best preserved of the four barracks built in 1719 after the 1715 Jacobite rising. The day after the Battle of Culloden in 1746, some 3,000 Jacobites retreated to Fort Ruthven but they were sent home by Prince Charles Edward Stuart as their situation was hopeless. The departing Jacobites destroyed the barracks on 17 April 1746, only the remnants remain. Kingussie featured in the 8-time Oscar-winning Danny Boyle film Slumdog Millionaire.<p><b>Shout out to...</b><br>Che Summers for reaching the 26.2 mile mark and beyond... great effort, keep going.
 
One last big team effort needed in the last week,  more warm weather due so some tips .. drink plenty of water before, during and after your run, (small sips rather then large gulps) run early morning or evening if you can, bring pace down if temps rising. Apply sun screen and wear a cap/sunglasses if possible also cool down gradually after your run, drinking water regularly. Its great to enjoy the paths and walkways in and around Welham Green, North Mymms, Gobions and Brookmans Park, good shade offered as well as great scenery, BUT watch out for exposed tree roots and other trip hazards.... Enjoy, Run Safe and Good Luck to all the 29 virtual NMYP May Marathon Team who have covered some 742 miles so far.
