Anyone strength train while out running?

I am really bad at doing my strength exercises at home, so I am working on a routine I can build into my runs...

About 1.5 kilometers into my run I stop for stretching. There is some fitness equipment in that spot, that's why I initially started stopping there including a ladder, horizontal ladder, steps, some rails etc and chin-up bar - I am trying to work up to a chin-up, but so far they're all let-downs
So I stretch, jump up to the chin-up position, hold and pull my knees up a few times, then slowly lower myself down. Repeat a few sets. I do incline push ups on a bench, dips, calf raises and step-ups. Then I run about 2 kilometers and when I get back to that spot, I do one or two more sets of everything. Then I either run the mile home, or another loop that would total 8kilometers.

That takes care of everything except squats and sit-ups, which I'd rather not do in public...

I've done this twice so far, and find it makes running harder, but not impossible. whether it will have the desired effect - I don't know yet.

Any thoughts? Or input?
I am just reading through 'you are your own gym' to see if there are more/better exercises I could be doing.
My main aim is to build up a base level of strength from which I can expand into weights in a few months or so...
