If I were you, I would include two full rest days back to back, you may be overtraining having only cardio for rest days.

well i really dont get a chance for 2 rest days a week because i have lacrosse practice everyday accept sun... i also try to do my legs saterday so i have a rest day after them

and also a thing i do to make sure im not over trian is track my resting heart beat... before i get out of bed every morn. i take my heart beat andy jumps in it means overtraining it staying constant means im good you might want to go and check out my journal for an example

Ok, it was just a suggestion, I would love to have that kind of recovery.
