Throw plyometrics in once a week, if you are just supplementing your routine with it. Plyometrics is very usefule in building power and speed, but you are right - it requires a lot of rest.
Try picking a diffeent bodypart tp plyo each week and add it in as a superset on that day.
Have fun!

Yes I do plyometrics once a week as well. Listen to Asimmer, she gives great advice! Good luck!
