Default Developing a Workout Plan

I am looking for some advice on how to develop a workout plan. I already run for 20-30 minutes a day, but I would like to start some strength training.

The recent ice storm across the midwest left me without power for several days, and with several large trees across my yard, and a number of trees across elderly neighbor's yards. I feel like it took me a lot more exerction to move those things then it has in the past, and so I was inspired to start lifting weights.

My problem, is that I went to my normal gym, for the first time walked into the weight room, and realized that I have no idea what I'm doing. I don't know which machines to use, and though the people there were very helpful about showing me how to use each machine, I need some advice about how to create a plan.

I'm not interested in having huge arms or a six-pack, but I would like to create a plan that will help increase my strength all over.

Thanks for your help.
