Logging properties, values in notes on TODO state change for column view usage?

Logging properties, values in notes on TODO state change for column view usage?

['Mash (Thomas Herbert)]

I have been looking at trying to track training performance with
org-mode.

I currently just set a reoccurring schedule with note logging on
state change, but wondered if there was a way to log values within
this :LOGBOOK: logs?

It is not a lot of effort to simply type in ":abc: 5", etc in the note
window. The idea being it would be nice to use column view to collect
these various logged values.

----
** TODO Training
:LOGBOOK:
- State "DONE"       [2012-10-29 Mon 16:26] \\
  :abc: 5
  :xyz: 9
- State "DONE"       [2012-10-30 Tue 16:25] \\
  :abc: 6
  :xyz: 8
:PROPERTIES:
:LAST_REPEAT: [2012-10-30 Tue 16:26]
:COLUMNS:  %25ITEM %10abc %10xyz
:END:
<2012-10-29 Mon +1d>

Wondered if anyone had any thoughts about this?

I am trying to utilise the LOGBOOK and I think column view is the way
to go.

Many thanks,

Nope, you need to store stuff like ":abc: 5" in the PROPERTIES drawer,
not in the LOGBOOK drawer.

Perhaps you can use `org-after-todo-state-change-hook' to store new
values for abc and xyz as new properties (see `org-set-property') or 
new variables (with a :VAR: property).  But you'd lose the history
of their values.  This is the only thing I can think of right now.

HTH,
