I swap days. Lift, cardio, lift, cardio, lift, cardio, rest for a day.
On cardio days, I run 2 1/2 miles at a 5% incline (about 4.7mph) I don't go long distances, just enough to get my heart rate up for about 30-45 minutes
Lifting takes me about 1 1/4 hours. I do full body workouts on lift days rather than parts like say lower body, then upper body. I prefer to do them that way because of the efficiency of doing it that way. (ie, lifting again during the time when you get the most benefit which is approximately 48 hours after you lifted last)
Also, I don't kill myself on lift days so that I'm super sore the next day. Just enough were I still lightly feel it when I go back to lift 2 days later.
