I really like getting a good, full workout in. I'm just not the type of guy that can workout for half an hour, go home, and call it a day. I don't know why. When I work out, I like to be absolutely exhausted. I've recently been working out three days a week, with traditional strength training on day 1, a run (~6 mi.) on day 2, and on day 3 I do a combination of kettle bell exercises and three or four Tabata exercises.

I like the setup I have right now, but feel like I'm a) not maximizing my potential, and b) have no real structure to this. On day 3, I might do box jumps (frontwards and side-to-side) for tabata along with wall sits and do three or four kettle bell routines, but I don't know if they're the only ones, if I could be doing them better, etc.

What do you more fitness-knowledgeable guys think? I'd be forever in your gratitude. Basically, I'd like a workout that lasts ~1-2 hours, three times a week.
You should probably try just checking out an actual CrossFit box. What you are describing is pretty much CrossFit. It entails all of that: heavy strength work, tabata work, kettle bells, box jumps, running, etc... If you aren't satisfied with a 1 hour CrossFit workout, then do a run in the mornings in addition. CrossFit is everything you mentioned, just mixed up so it's constantly varied every day.
