Mind you, myself in 2024 was not really a runner. My tempo pace was freakin&rsquo; 11&rsquo;/km! I also cramped running a 1h15m 7K race lol. However, in order to suffer less when hiking, I think I need to get fitter. So, I started running. And what is better than giving yourself a target, an anchor, so you can measure your progress? Yes, a race! Siksorogo was surely a very popular race, even when I was not a trail runner back then, I already heard the name. I checked the details of the race and saw that it&rsquo;s around 15km with elevation gain of around 1000m and 6h cutoff time. Seems like a realistic target for me. So, I vowed to myself that in 2025 I will be fit enough to complete this race.</p> https://vale979.github.io/posts/grad-school/ Thu, 17 Aug 2023 05:21:21 +0700 https://vale979.github.io/posts/grad-school/ <p>Because maybe a healthy dose of self-critic and a bit of honesty might be for the best.</p> https://vale979.github.io/posts/gcp-pde-from-zero/ Sun, 22 Jan 2023 04:29:44 +0700 https://vale979.github.io/posts/gcp-pde-from-zero/ <p>So, you want to be a Google-certified data engineer?</p> <p><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/ddtggb6fb/image/upload/c_scale,w_725/v1674334178/POST_GCPDE/GCPDE_valer_jkiksy.jpg" alt="Google Professional Data Engineer"></p> https://vale979.github.io/posts/hello/ Thu, 06 Oct 2022 22:07:20 +0700 https://vale979.github.io/posts/hello/ <p>Hello!
