Visiting Seoul? This is what you should eat.

Readers, FoodieGymmie is coming to Seoul in April for the Korea Open Marathon and I wanted to pick out some restaurants for him/her. Sorry, tangent. You know what, in the Internet world we need to have a new designation for sex. I mean it would just be weird to call this person
1. it
2. this person
3. she/he him/her

Anyway, FoodieGymmie has a great blog on training and eating. I think I should follow the blog’s principle. You should train and then eat. Hmmm…I think I do too much eating and not enough training. http://eatandtrain.blogspot.com
