And that's without having to go back to the book, read things etc. I think the first time I did my own program it probably took me about 5 to 6 hours to figure it out, then about 1.5 to 2 hours per month.

The book has been around for a while so you can likely get it through your local library.
A bit of a hijack...

I feel like I've been bumbling along for four years, trying to make canned plans work for me. They never do. I wasn't ready, willing or able to do the amount of running. I don't want to give up my strength training time and I don't need to swim three times a week. And I need to have yoga a regular part of my week.

Of course this book was one of my first purchases and it's sat on my shelf, pretty much unread. In fact I just hunted down to make sure I still had it. Guess it's time to give it a serious look and make my own plan.
