I have been very MIA and slowly getting back into a groove.
I am not training for anything specifically but want to set up some sort of schedule for myself.
Here is a rough idea: Sunday: Weight video Monday: Power Yoga (love this class) Tuesday: Swim or 1 hour cardio Wednesday: power yoga/abs class Thursday: weight video/cardio Friday: one hour cardio Sat: nothing or sub if i missed something earlier.
I am in a perpetual state of trying to lose like 15 lbs but also looking to tone up and get stronger.
I am not sure how to mix up everything.
Eta: i belong to a gym with a pool and an inside track. I really like the yoga classes there too. I have some videos i can do at home and might attempt to run outside again at some point but i really need to be training for a race to do it.
I was in South Africa all week, so my schedule was kind of wonky.
S: 3.75 mi - I felt like this was a huge victory after flying all day M: 5k T: 30 mins yoga W: 5k R: rest - Flew for the entire day F: run + yoga (planned) S: run + SUPing

In an average week I try to run 4 days, do some type of strength training 2 days, do some focused core work one day, and yoga once. I'd love to add in some swimming, but there are only so many hours in the day, and I've had a hard time getting moving on that.
M: 6 miles, HIIT/strength circuits T: 12 miles w/3x1m @ 5k W: 4 miles, kickboxing Th: 9 miles w/8x100 strides, piyo Fr: spin, strength Sa: 10 miles Su: rest
This is my not training for anything in particular schedule. Mileage and speedwork outs vary, but I like staying in the 40mpw range. Strength 2x and 2-3 classes at the gym.
M-Th - Whatever I can cram in... running/ice skating/yoga/gym. I usually try and get at least one double in there. F - Rest Sat - Run + gym Sum - Long run

Here is my ideal week. I've been overwhelmed lately, so it hasn't quite worked out (or rather, *I* haven't quite worked out.) I need to figure out when/how to incorporate weight training. S--long run M-rest T-run/spin W-back to back spin T-rest F-run club S-spin
I'm kind of lost right now but this week it looked like this Mon: I don't even remember. I think I ran Tues: lifted and stairclimber for 40 min Wed: 10 mile run Thurs: 10 min row, kettlebells and core, 3 mile run Fri: don't know. Maybe swim Sat: rest or run with stroller Sun: same as sat

Currently training for Ironman, a 50 miler, and a 100 miler, so my schedule is a bit busy at the moment. My ideal week looks like:
Monday: swim & run Tuesday: bike & run Wednesday: swim & run Thursday: swim & bike (recovery day) Friday: long run #1 Saturday: long run #2 Sunday: long bike
I'm in the middle of triathlon training so I do 2 sessions (1 short, 1 long) of each discipline every week. Sometimes I combine two workouts into a brick so that I can have an extra rest day.
buffaloeggs.blogspot.com 2016 Races: Hop Hop Half Marathon 2:05:09 Pac Crest Half Ironman 7:13:40 9/10 Aluminum Man Oly Tri 11/27 Space Coast Half Marathon
M: 3mi run T: 3-4mi run W: 20-25min swim Th: 5mi run F: Yoga S: 6-8mi run, 20-30min swim Su: Rest
I'm not training for anything at the moment. Right now my swim yardage is at about 2500 each week. I need to get some strength training in there somehow.

I pretty much just do Crossfit all day erryday, so that's not particularly helpful to you.
If you're just trying to get back at it and generally be healthy, I'd do whatever sounds fun so that you enjoy forming the routine again. What you typed out looks great, but you could definitely take another rest day if any of those is something that you're going to be dreading doing each week.
Typically 4 runs- a speed/tempo run, a hill workout, a long run, and a recovery run. I also try to do get in a yoga session, and some strength training.
