What Next - Need a New Program

I find I do better when I have something external telling me what to do/how to push myself. I'm almost done with my mud/obstacle run-suggested C25k, and am looking to get ready for what's next.
Currently I:
C25k 4x week
Strength 2-4x week
Zumba 1-2x week
Love the Zumba classes, so they're staying. Most of the other stuff is fair game. I like the jogging okay, but it does get monotonous. Doing a 10k instead of a 5 doesn't have a ton of interest for me, but maybe I'll love the obstacle 5k and want to keep going, so that's a possibility.
Did the 30ds thing- ugh. Hardly any results and she grated on my last nerve. Not opposed to another DVD program, but not her.
Don't currently belong to a gym- maybe it's time to focus on strength, and start a strength-focused program and get a membership? Would mean shifting my schedule a bit, which I'm "eh" on, but if it's the next logical step... if so, which strength program? Or, is there a strength program I can focus on at home (i.e. You are your own gym) as a stepping stone?
I know this is a subjective question, but wondering if anybody had suggestions, programs they loved/hated, etc. If I start something, I'll finish it, but I'd like to enjoy, not just endure it. Thanks!

I would recommend going her: http://www.bodybuilding.com/guides/
Setting yourself up with one of the guides. I loved the 14 week Jamie Eason - I lost 6lbs and LOTS of inches. I am doing the shortcut to shred now.
If you sign up with email - you will get a weeks worth of workouts each day, nutrition and supplement suggestions.0 -
Thanks to the response - I'll check that out! Self-bumping- nobody's doing any kind of program the recommend (or not)?0
