I have gained some weight since becoming a dad and want to get back into running and lifting once the nanny starts.

Any tips on good running shoes for a flatfooted man? Or any good weight routines?

I recently had some foot issues pop up, and apparently that is a common thing; abnormalities in the foot go without impact for years, then all of the sudden they pop up and you're fucked.  Suggest seeing an ortho/kinesio/podiatrist to take a look for specific conditions and get a rec. on how to prevent future probs.
