Boxing while training for this marathon

For the past 3 years I've been boxing 3x a week. It really has helped me incorporate core strength, endurance and toning in my running. Since I started my marathon training I've had to cut back some. When I have a long/hard week(40+mpw) I try to save all that energy for my run. I don't want to burn out and not have enough energy to get me through my 15+ miles.
Well, It had been about a week since I went to a class. I went last night thinking that I would die from not going so regularly. I was way wrong and am now starting to think that my running has also helped me in my boxing. I had so much energy in my class last night. More so than I've had in a while. Maybe I should re-think all of that and start going as regularly as I used to.
