My name is Christie, and I am the administrator of the Lake Placid Skater blog.

Since 2008, Lake Placid Skater has been the source for skating information in Lake Placid. I write for various publications including the Lake Placid News, the Adirondack Daily Enterprise, the Adirondack Almanack, the Free George, and others–I have contributed to Skating magazine, and my blog was mentioned in Skating Magazine and as one of the Top 10 Sports Blogs by Women on the SHAPE magazine website.

I consider this my more personal blog, because LPS is primary an informational site. Paleo Skater (formerly From Books to Blades) focuses on how I use my stricter version of the  paleo diet and lifestyle to get back in skating shape, improve my health, and create a life I love. I hope those who read Lake Placid Skater (and maybe even those that don’t) find this blog interesting, helpful and relevant, and hope to remind others that it’s never too late to improve your life.

Writing note: I write about the products and brands I love, but unless otherwise noted, I don’t get compensated for my reviews/discussions about certain products and brands. My goal is always to be honest and share what products/brands work for me. I won’t promote something if I don’t use it myself!
