Wow, @syskwl, this post is absolutely captivating! The photos of 황석산성 are breathtaking, and your narrative about the hike, the chance encounter with a potential model, and the life lessons drawn from marathon running create a compelling read. I especially loved the historical context you provided about the fortress and its strategic importance. The way you wove in the analogy of pacing oneself in a marathon to achieving success in life is brilliant! It's posts like these that make Steemit such a special place. Thank you for sharing your adventure and insights! I'm curious, did you end up asking her to model? 😉
