Natalie Merrill (NatMer) is a writer and runner who logs a lot of miles that probably don’t even count because she doesn’t have a Strava. But that’s OK—she doesn’t really care. She’s too busy focusing on providing people with all of the news they never knew they needed in her weekly newsletter, NatNews. In addition to running the streets of Dallas, she also runs her mouth in entertaining conversations with her buddy Drew, the second half of the notorious Cupcake Patrol, in their podcast Watch Didn’t Start. NatMer loves grammar and syntax and carries Wheat Thins with her at all times. And if you ever need Band-Aids or stickers, she’s got you covered.
